September 7, 2015 marks the 19th year anniversary of the death of legendary hip-hop rapper Tupac Shakur and many of his fans remembered him with fond memories of his songs.
In a twist, a retired police officer has come out to say what he knows about the death of Tupac.
According to an ex-cop, David Myers claimed that he assisted Shakur to fake his own death 19 years ago!
The ex-cop who is presently bed ridden and is trying to make restitution with God and man alleged that the sum of $1.5m was given to him to certify the death of the rapper in the 1996 shooting that was said to have led to the death of the rapper.

The ailing ex-cop also said that Suge Knight, a one-time close friend of Shakur and Death Row Records founder who is currently in jail awaiting trial for murder, played a key role in faking his friend’s death. He claims Shakur paid $50,000 for a body double to be taken to the morgue.
The sick ex-cop said: “The world needs to know what I did. I’m ashamed that I let a price be put on my word and I cannot die without letting the world know.”
He also indicted 30 people who he claimed help fake the rapper’s death and they include police officers, medics and multiple eye witnesses.
Shakur is known for his explicit and controversial lyrics. He was embroiled in a feud between East Coast and West Coast rappers, becoming involved in conflicts with other rappers, producers and record-label staff members, most notably The Notorious B.I.G. and the label Bad Boy Records.
Shakur has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists in the world.
On September 7, 1996, Shakur was shot multiple times in a drive-by shooting at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Prior his death, he was at the Mike Tyson vs Bruce Sheldon boxing match with Knight and was involved in an altercation with gang member Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson.
A short while later, while en route to night club a car pulled up alongside Shakur’s while he was standing with his head out of the sunroof in the company of Knight and unknown occupants shot him, hitting him in the chest, pelvis, right hand, thigh and lung.
