Yesterday, reports by TMZ surfaced that the .40 caliber glock that was used to kill Tupac Shakur 21 years ago was missing after it was found 11 years ago. In 2006, retired Los Angeles detective Deputy Timothy Brennan found the weapon in the home of a crip gang member’s girlfriend. He investigated Shakur’s murder and said even though it hasn’t been seen since 2006, the weapon should be in Los Angeles.
In the current A&E series ‘Who Killed Tupac,’ attorney Benjamin Crump presented documents from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to Tupac’s brother Mopreme stating that the gun was originally found in someone’s backyard in Compton on May 30, 1998 and it was reported to police. Las Vegas police decided not to hold onto it and release the information due to multiple conspiracy theories possibly forming. They also went on to say that the gun didn’t have enough proof to be the one that killed Shakur and that this could possibly reignite gang violence in Los Angeles. In 2000, the LA County Sheriff’s Department took over Compton’s law enforcement and they confiscated 3,800 firearms. The gun that allegedly killed Shakur was one of them.
Many people suspect former Los Angeles southside crip Orlando Anderson for being responsible of pulling the trigger of this glock to kill Tupac. Attorney Crump was not able to interview Anderson due to him being killed in a drive by shooting in 1998. That same year, the executive producer of Who Killed Tupac, Stephanie Frederic, interviewed Anderson regarding the murder and he denied all allegations. It was suspected that he was lying about the murder due to his body language and him smiling throughout the interview.
