Mr. Melchor Tupac Amaru Shakur, born Lesane Parish Crooks; June 16, 1971, known by his stage names 2Pac and Makaveli, was an American famous rapper and actor. On the night of September 7, 1996, Shakur attended the Mike Tyson–Bruce Sheldon boxing match at the MGM GRAND in Las Vegas. After leaving the match, one of Knight's associates spotted 21-year-old Orlando Anderson, an alleged member of the Southside Crips, in the MGM Grand lobby. Earlier that year, Anderson and a group of Crips had robbed a member of Death Row's entourage in a FootLocker store. Knight's associate told Shakur, who attacked Anderson. Shakur's entourage, as well as Knight and his followers, assisted in assaulting Anderson. The fight was captured on the hotel's video surveillance. After the brawl, Shakur went to rendezvous with Knight to go to Death Row-owned Club 662. He rode in Knight's 1996 black BMW 750Il Sedan as part of a larger convoy, including many in Shakur's entourage. At around 11:00–11:05 pm, they were halted on Las Vegas Boulevard by Metro bicycle police for playing the car stereo too loudly and not having license plates. The plates were found in the trunk of Knight's car; the party was released without being fined a few minutes later. At about 11:10 pm, while they were stopped at a red light at Flamingo Road near the intersection of Koval Lane in front of the Maxim Hotel, a vehicle occupied by two women pulled up on their left side. Shakur, who was standing up through the sunroof, exchanged words with the two women, and invited them to go to Club 662. At approximately 11:15 pm, a white, four-door, late-model Cadillac with an unknown number of occupants pulled up to the sedan's right side, rolled down a window, and rapidly fired a volley of gunshots at Shakur. He was hit in the chest, pelvis, and his right hand and thigh approximately. One of the rounds ricocheted into Shakur's right lung. Knight was hit in
