*A search warrant was executed on a Las Vegas home Monday as part of the decades-long investigation into Tupac Shakur’s cold case murder.
TMZ reports that the Las Vegas Metro Police Department visited the home near Interstate 11 and Wagon Wheel Drive in Henderson. The property is allegedly connected to the rapper’s murder. No one was taken into custody.
“LVMPD can confirm a search warrant was served in Henderson, Nevada on July 17, 2023, as part of the ongoing Tupac Shakur homicide investigation. We will have no further comment at this time,” Las Vegas Police said in a statement, per ABC 7.
Meanwhile, we reported previously that Billy Garland, Tupac’s biological father, believes the hip-hop icon’s murder was set up by the U.S. government.
Garland explained in an interview with Delray Richardson for The Art of Dialogue that Pac’s killing in 1996 was arranged by the feds. He also claims the late rapper “was being tailed by the government the night of his assassination.”
Tupac Shakur was gunned down almost 27 years ago in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas — and there have never been any arrests in his killing.

“[2Pac] was being tailed by the government the night of his assassination,” Garland said, Complex reports. “He was being tailed by the government [at] Quad Studio—that’s a known fact. … I just know it looked like a setup to me.”
Orlando Anderson’s uncle Duane “Keefe D” Davis claims he witnessed Anderson allegedly shoot and kill Tupac in Las Vegas in 1996, Complex reports.
MTV reported that Anderson was shot to death in Compton in 1998 following a gun battle that left two other men dead. He was 23.
Anderson was beaten by Pac and former Death Row Records boss Suge Knight in the lobby of MGM Grand on the night Shakur was killed, according to MTV.
“I just know it looked like a setup to me. Somebody told this guy to stand there with the Death Row thing and it pursued to what we had, but I don’t think [Orlando Anderson] had anything to do with the death of my son. … Not at all,” said Garland.
