Former CEO of Death Row Records, Suge Knight, is finally ready to announce the name of the man he 'knows' killed Tupac Shakur.
Knight was with Tupac when he was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in 1996. Despite the incident happening over 20 years ago the mystery that surrounds his death, as well as a number of bizarre conspiracy theories, has kept people interested in the case.

However, Knight - who is standing trial for a different murder - has opened up about what he saw that evening. He claims that it was in fact he who was the intended target and that his ex-wife and the former Death Row Records security chief are behind the ordering of the shooting.
Thaddeus Culpepper, Knight's attorney, wrote in an affidavit that his client had known for 'many years that Reggie Wright Jr and his ex-wife, Sharitha, were behind the murder of Tupac and attempted murder of Knight'.

The film's co-director said: "When our book, came out and we were working on the movie, we gave the salient points of the book (Tupac: 187 The Red Knight) to Thaddeus Culpepper, who read them to Suge Knight.
"Suge's initial response was, 'Who the hell are these guys?'."
A source added that Suge then admitted to Culpepper that the theories in the movie were true, and is reported to have been so intrigued by the filmmakers' detective skills that he sent private investigators to find out how the writers had found out the truth about what happened.
