New Details about 2Pac’s Shooting In 1994

New evidence has emerged about Tupac Shakur’s ambush in 1994, an incident which left the hip-hop superstar with five gunshot wounds in New York City, before his murder two years later.

According to an investigative reporter, former rival Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs knew of the ambush beforehand, and several associates from Bad Boy Records may have helped orchestrate the attack.

Los Angeles Times writer Chuck Philips released an article today claiming that Combs, previously known as Puff Daddy, was notified of the incident in advance – a claim which 2Pac insinuated in several interviews before his death in 1996.

According to Philips, other possible key figures include Jimmy “Henchman” Rosemond and Jacques “Haitian Jack” Agnant, both of whom were mentioned by name on Tupac’s 1996 song, “Against All Odds.”

Philips also writes that this incident began a chain of events which led to the murders of both 2Pac and the Notorious B.I.G. years later.

“Tupac’s shooting at the Quad [Recording Studio] was really a catalyst for everything that happened afterwards, including his own death and including the death of Biggie,” said Phillips, who based much of his story on FBI records and witness accounts.

“It started the whole thing off, and if you lay it out in a timeline which I do, you can just see; it’s obvious and kind of sad for two guys to be this talented.”

“I don’t believe that Biggie and Puffy set Tupac up [to be shot]," Philips added.

“According to these people I have interviewed, and according to these documents, they knew about it. But they didn’t know they were going to get shot. They knew he was going to get beat up. Then it kind of went haywire when it all happened.”

Philips’ article is published online at http://www.latimes.com/tupac, and it will be followed by a live chat scheduled for Tuesday.

Philips, a 1999 Pulitzer Prize winner, has written extensively on the music industry, including exposes on radio payola and charity scams.

Everybody involved in the shooting of tupac amaru shakur should be brought to justice, indifferent of high placed positions. If that silly "i got more money then you" baileys drinking model industry illiterate rmb producing waxhead puffy knew 2pac was going to get ambushed he should be put in jail. I think he knew, 2pac knew pufhead and big knew the fbi knows so please let's bring out the truth. Bullits end live but the truth will kill a liar

U know... No one will ever go to jail for this... And if they do they will be past the prime of their life/career... And be doing 14 less years than life from the time of the shooting... Bottom line is its too late, kill the case and focus on what their art was and not what it could have been

So whats this mean.. They can't lock puff up after not getting locked up for 14 years or is he??

Whether diddy knew it about it or not, no arrest can be made for knowing in advance that he (2pac) was going to get jumped. It would only be liable if it was conspiracy to commit premeditated murder. Only charges they could try to put on him (diddy) would be knowing the identity of the shooters and not turning them in, but even then they can't prove that he really did. Just let it be, what it is. It's long pass over.

Thats why i never trusted that guy (diddy) i knew he was involved in the murder of the hip hop father

Nothing is forgotten, let alone forgiven. He knew and he knows it was the beginning of a lot of dying for lots of people. Not only biggie and pac died, they are only the top of the iceberg. According to official records it is estamated that more then 20 murders followed this initial attack on pac. Diddy should be glad to be alive.
