Witness says Tupac Shakur told police he would handle his own shooting

A police officer who was present at the scene of the 1996 Las Vegas shooting testified that, after Tupac Shakur was struck by multiple gunshots, the rapper declined to answer questions and told the officer, “We’ll take care of it.” The testimony was given during a recent hearing on the cold case, which has remained unsolved for more than two decades.

According to the officer’s account, Shakur was taken to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada where he later died from his injuries. Investigators reported that Shakur’s refusal to cooperate limited the immediate collection of evidence, and no arrests have been made despite multiple leads and renewed interest from law‑enforcement agencies. The testimony underscores the challenges faced by authorities in piecing together the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting, which continues to attract public and media attention.
