Las Vegas Police Ask the Public for Information
Three lawyers at a single interview, no reward from the family: In late September 1996, Las Vegas police appealed to potential witnesses.
Three weeks after the shooting at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane, the Las Vegas police appealed to the public on September 27, 1996. Anyone who had seen anything was asked to come forward. The appeal was justified on two grounds: the rapper’s entourage was barely cooperating, and the family had not offered any significant reward.
Arriving with Lawyers for Questioning
They had questioned all members of the large entourage and still had few leads, Lieutenant Larry Spinosa said. Some had shown up with lawyers, in one case with up to three at once.
The relationship between the family and the police remained strained. In February 1997, Afeni Shakur for her part accused the police of never having been seriously interested in solving the case; her reckoning can be found in the magazine under Afeni Shakur’s Reckoning with the Las Vegas Police. How the investigation proceeded is shown in The Investigation.
