Dexter Isaac Confesses to 1994 Robbery and Implicates Jimmy Henchman
A day before Tupac's 40th birthday, an inmate claimed he robbed Tupac in New York in 1994 on orders from Jimmy Henchman, for 2,500 dollars.
More than 16 years after the shots were fired in the lobby of Quad Studios in Manhattan, a man came forward on June 15, 2011, claiming to have been there. Dexter Isaac, who was serving a life sentence for murder and robbery among other offenses, told AllHipHop that he had taken part in the robbery of Tupac on November 30, 1994. He said the job was given to him by Jimmy “Henchman” Rosemond, his longtime friend from Brooklyn, paid with 2,500 dollars.
Why He Spoke Now
According to Isaac, the trigger was an accusation made by Rosemond. At the time, Rosemond was under indictment for alleged large-scale cocaine trafficking, was on the run, and had claimed that Isaac and other inmates were cooperating with investigators. Isaac denied this. He said he wanted to prove that Rosemond was behind the robbery. As proof, he stated that he had the chain that was taken from Tupac back then.
Isaac apologized to Tupac’s family and said he wanted to give closure to the mothers of Tupac and Biggie. Legally, the confession had no consequences for him: the statute of limitations had expired. For a long time, suspicions had persisted that Biggie and Sean Combs were behind the robbery; Tupac himself had fueled them. rap.de noted that this suspicion had fueled the feud between Death Row and Bad Boy. Rosemond’s rebuttal followed one day later.
