Attorneys and prosecutors convene Monday in a Las Vegas courtroom to begin opening arguments in a high-profile murder case centered on the shooting death of hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur nearly three decades ago. The trial represents a watershed moment for one of the music industry’s most enduring mysteries, with investigators having pursued leads for decades following the 1996 slaying.
The case has captivated the public imagination since Shakur’s death in September 1996, spawning numerous theories and investigations over the years.
