Tupac was shot on September 7, 1996, while riding in a black BMW with Suge Knight after attending a Mike Tyson fight in Las Vegas. The incident escalated from a confrontation involving Tupac and members of the Southside Compton Crips, including Davis and his nephew, Orlando Anderson. Following the altercation, Davis allegedly provided the gun used in the shooting to those in the Cadillac that targeted Tupac’s vehicle.
