'I don't have to shoot five times': Investigators say Diddy may have had something to do with Tupac Shakur's 1996 murder

The death of Tupac Shakur is probably one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the music world. What happened on September 7, 1996, when the revolutionary rapper was shot multiple times, leading to his untimely and tragic death, is now said to have some connections to Diddy.

Sean Combs, Tupac Shakur

McCollum, who has extensive experience in the case, argues that the origins of this violent rivalry can be traced to an earlier shooting involving Shakur in 1994. While the connection to Diddy is not new, the crime scene investigator's statement has certainly opened a new chapter as Diddy faces charges of extortion and sex trafficking.

Diddy have something to do with Tupac's death?

“For me, this whole thing started in 1994 – when Tupac was shot for the first time,” Sheryl McCollum told NewNation on Saturday. “You don’t have to shoot someone five times to steal their jewelry and money,” added the crime scene investigator who worked on the case in 1996.

“Sean 'Puffy' Combs and his 40-man entourage? Unharmed. “Unthreatened,” she asked. “How can it be clear to anyone that one person is being robbed and the other 40 are not? Who would have had more money and jewelry? Forty.”

Tupac was reportedly gunned down and hit by four bullets from a .40 caliber Glock. Subsequently, a suspect in the case, former gang leader Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who faces murder charges in connection with Tupac's death, reportedly told police that Sean “Diddy” Combs had offered $1 million to kill him Fox 5. Combs has previously denied rumors of involvement in the case.

Tupac Shakur was “trapped” both times he was shot

The investigator said that during Tupac's first shooting in 1994, he was trapped in an elevator and the second time he found himself in a car – both situations leaving him with no way to escape. “Ironically, there is no video footage of any of these incidents,” she noted. “This suggests that someone close to him knew his location on that day and time.” In her opinion, this also narrows down the potential suspect pool.

Tupac publicly pointed the finger at Biggie and his Bad Boy Record label, which Combs owns, after the shooting, saying their casual reaction showed they were involved. Tragically, the Notorious BIG also later met a mysterious end.

Tupac Shaukr's family hires investigators to investigate possible connection to Diddy

McCollum's comments come amid recent news that Tupac's family is launching a new legal investigation that may link the rapper's 1996 murder to the disgraced music mogul. The investigation launched by Tupac's family aims to investigate possible connections to the Bad Boy record producer. High-profile attorney Alex Spiro has been hired to delve deeper into the nearly three-decade-old case.

However, his court documents state: “[Davis] had publicly stated that in his conversations with police he only spoke about himself and did not attempt to testify against anyone else.”

“However, this statement refutes that claim as he suspected that Sean Combs paid [drug dealer] “Eric Von Martin paid $1 million for the murders and also offered to have a secret phone call with Terrence Brown, the driver, who was still alive at the time,” the statement continued, according to Fox.
