Shakur and the Death Row affiliates go back to their hotel rooms to change their clothing before the Club 662 performance. Shakur, now accompanied by a large number of people who are either Death Row-affiliated or fans, leave the MGM Grand. One of the men involved in the fight is questioned by police, but his name is not recorded. The fight is captured on the hotel's video surveillance. In the chaos, Shakur, who ignited the brawl, is pulled back by bodyguard Frank Alexander. The heavily Blood-affiliated Death Row Record members, including Shakur, beat up Anderson. This associate claimed that Anderson was one of the people involved in robbing a member of Death Row's entourage in a Foot Locker store. One of these associates spots Orlando 'Baby Lane' Anderson, an alleged Crip gang member from Compton, California. With him are Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight and some other associates. He is accompanied by his entourage, including bodyguard Frank Alexander and members of his group, The Outlawz.Īfter watching his friend Mike Tyson beat Sheldon, Shakur leaves the arena and enters the lobby of the MGM Grand. He leaves them behind in his hotel room to go gambling at a nearby casino. In Las Vegas, Shakur is attending the Mike Tyson - Bruce Sheldon boxing match with Suge Knight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, before performing at Club 662.Īt 3 pm, Shakur, accompanied by his girlfriend and cousin, arrives in Las Vegas. In the morning, he is reminded by his cousin Jamala Lesane that they are leaving for Las Vegas in a few hours. After driving to his mansion in Calabasas, Los Angeles, he goes to sleep for a few hours. In Los Angeles, California on the 6th of September 1996 at 11:30 pm, Shakur leaves Lacy Street Production Studio in downtown LA where he has finished recording the music video for his single ' Toss It Up'. This would be the start of the coast rivalry that dominated the mid-1990s hip hop scene and is believed to be the reason for the deaths of Shakur and Wallace. 2Pac released numerous records dissing the East Coast hip hop scene, particularly Combs, Wallace, and Bad Boy Entertainment. While Shakur was serving a prison sentence for sexual assault, Wallace released the diss record ' Who Shot Ya?', which Shakur interpreted as a mocking of his robbery/shooting. Shakur also suspected that Walker was also involved in the attack. Shakur would accuse Sean Combs, Andre Harrell, and Christopher 'The Notorious B.I.G.' Wallace - who was at the studio at the time - of setting him up.

With him was Live Squad member Randy 'Stretch' Walker and two other friends.

On the night of 30 November 1994, Shakur was robbed and shot five times by two men in army fatigues after entering the lobby of Quad Recording Studios in Manhattan.
