Police raided a home in connection to the murder of Tupac Shakur

New video footage shows police officers removing two people from a property after searching the address as part of their ongoing investigation into the murder of Tupac Shakur.

Police and SWAT vehicles entered a neighbourhood in Henderson, Las Vegas, on Monday night as they went to an address on Maple Shade Street. Police were seen in the neighbourhood at around 10pm.

This comes after police confirmed to The Mirror that "a search warrant was served in Henderson, Nevada on July 17, 2023, as part of the ongoing Tupac Shakur homicide investigation".

In a video, officers were heard shouting for the people inside to come out with their hands up.

Police reportedly searched a property owned by Paula Clemons. According to a marriage license obtained by The Mirror, Paula is the wife of Keefe D — uncle of Orlando Anderson.

Orlando and Tupac were reportedly in a scuffle on the night of Tupac's murder. The musician was killed in 1996 at the age of 25 after he was gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas.

Following a boxing match on September 7, 1997, Tupac was riding in the passenger seat of a 1996 BMW 750 Sedan which was being driven by Marion "Suge" Knight. A white Cadillac pulled up beside Suge's vehicle.

From the back of the car, the shooter rolled down the window and took fire. That's when both of them were shot at 13 times. Tupac was hit three times in the chest and shrapnel went by Suge's head.

While Suge was released from medical care the very next day, Tupac continued to undergo treatment and operations. During this time, his right lung was removed as a result of internal bleeding.

A few days later on September 13, Tupac died as a result of his injuries.

Keefe D claimed in the documentary Unsolved: the Tupac and Biggie Murders that both himself and Orlando were in the vehicle where the shots at Tupac were fired from.

In the film, he didn't specifically implicate Orlando, but did say the shots came from the backseat. He added: "Going to keep it for the code of the streets. It just came from the backseat."

Police have never charged Orlando or Keefe D in regards to the ongoing investigation, however, Keefe D allegedly told a former Los Angeles Police Department detective that Orlando fired the shots.
