There is still and no doubt always will be a lot of mystery surrounding the murder of Tupac Shakur.
But now, a police officer at the scene has revealed what he claims are the last words of the rapper.
Chris Carroll, who was on bike patrol along the Las Vegas Strip that fateful night of September 7, 1996, told Vegas Seven that Tupac said ‘F*** you’ to him just before falling out of consciousness forever. |

Carroll had pulled Tupac from the passenger seat of the car after he was shot several times in a drive-by.
The
officer recalled that he had asked the 25-year-old who shot him several
times, but Tupac wouldn’t answer and instead was apparently yelling at
Suge Knight.
‘He
went from fighting to “I can’t do it.”,’ Carroll said. ‘And when he
made that transition, he looked at me, and he’s looking right in my
eyes. |

‘And that’s when I looked at him and said one more time, “Who shot you?”
‘He
looked at me and he took a breath to get the words out, and he opened
his mouth, and I thought I was actually going to get some cooperation.
And then the words came out: “F*** you.’”
Carroll
added: ‘After that, he started gurgling and slipping out of
consciousness. At that point, an ambulance showed up, and he went into
unconsciousness.’ |

Tupac was then taken to hospital and put on life support and then under a barbiturate-induced coma.
He
died of internal bleeding on September 13 and doctors tried to revive
him until his mother Afeni decided to tell them to stop.
A new musical inspired by the life and work of the hip hop star, titled Holler If Ya Hear Me, will open in New York next month.
