Tupac Shakur: If I Die Tonight (Chapter One)

Prosecutors alleged in their case against Duane Davis aka Keefe D that Tupac’s 1996 murder was essentially an act of gang violence. The witness testimony in Davis’ case, however. points to a much bigger conspiracy at play. Was the killing of Tupac Shakur actually the work of a powerful syndicate? In this first of three chapters, Tess takes a close look at dark foundations that seem to have led to Tupac’s untimely death. 

 

Tess interviews one of Tupac’s producers, Darryl Harper, about his own time making music with Tupac, and his own theories about what really led to that fateful night in Las Vegas.
