Suge Knight Finally Reveals Who Killed Tupac Shakur<br />

When the West Coast’s prized rap possession Tupac Shakur was murdered in September<br />

1996 riding passenger-side<br />

with the leader of Death Row<br />

Records, Suge Knight, the<br />

world bore witness to one of<br />

hip-hop’s most painful losses<br />

to date.<br />

But after 21 years of arguable<br />

statements, conspiracies,<br />

documentaries, debates and<br />

finger-pointing, Knight has<br />

now stepped forth to<br />

disclose the two individuals<br />

responsible for the fateful<br />

evening of September 7,<br />

1996.<br />

Several sources have<br />

reported that in an officially<br />

signed affidavit, Thaddeus Culpepper, Knight’s attorney, wrote that the label CEO has<br />

“known for many years that Reggie Wright Jr. and his ex-wife Sharitha were behind the<br />

murder of Tupac and attempted murder of Knight.” Wright Jr., the then-head of security for<br />

Death Row, had previously been linked to Pac’s death by a former LAPD detective Russell<br />

Poole, along with Knight’s ex-wife. However, Knight was the intended target of the<br />

shooting, as Poole believes the two conspired to murder him to gain control of Death Row<br />

Records. Knight seconds these claims, as the “salient points” of the new Tupac<br />

Assassinaton: Battle for Compton documentary was what reportedly convicted him to<br />

disclose such classified information.<br />

Knight, who has been incarcerated<br />

since January 2015 on murder and<br />

attempted murder charges for a<br />

separate incident, has also long been<br />

suspected and accused of Pac’s death<br />

due to inconsistent testimonies, one of<br />

which he suggested Pac faked his own<br />

death. <strong>The</strong> affidavit also claims that he<br />

has knowledge of those involved with<br />

the murder of Tupac’s mostspotlighted<br />

East Coast rival, Notorious<br />

B.I.G, as well.<br />

If there’s truth to Knight’s claims, hopefully his latest reveal will move everyone closer to<br />

solving the cold case of the legendary rap prophet’s death once and for all.
