Police in the US state of Nevada recently carried out a search at a home linked to the death of hip hop legend Tupac Shakur who was gunned down in September 1996.
At the time, police did not provide further details of the search, citing the ongoing investigation into the musician’s murder.
The home that was searched is less than 32km from the Las Vegas strip where Shakur was shot in a drive-by shooting.
In the latest development, police found bullet cartridges from their search in the house.
The bullet cartridges found were reported to have been sent for forensic testing in connection to Tupac’s unsolved murder.
The cartridges have been sent to a forensics lab to determine if they match those removed from Tupac Shakur’s body.
Las Vegas Metro Police revealed in a warrant that detectives removed several .40-caliber bullets from Keefe’s residence last week.
“The bullets taken from the house will absolutely be tested by forensics experts. Of course, the most obvious probe will be to determine if they have any link to the bullets found in Tupac’s body or on the scene of the homicide,” a Vegas police source told Mirror.
The outlet adds that an anonymous police source shared their thoughts on the likelihood of the cartridges being matched.
“The likelihood of the bullet cartridges being a direct match is not high. It is hard to imagine anyone would have held onto such evidence, if it was incriminating, for close to three decades…”
The source adds that the bullet cartridges do, however, match the “make” of the murder weapon used in the shooting of Shakur, a reported S&W Glock 22.
