Update on the 2Pac Murder
by Jeremiah Gomez
The 27-year murder conspiracy of legendary artist Tupac Shakur or rapper name “2pac” could potentially be solved. On September 7, 1996, Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in Las Vegas, Nevada shortly after getting in an altercation in the MGM Grand Casino. He would pass away six days later September 13, 1996, due to the injuries of the shooting.
27 years later, an arrest for the murder of Tupac Shakur was finally made. Recently on September 29, 2023, Duane Keith Davis or known as “Keefe D” was arrested in Las Vegas as he’s the last living suspect of the murder of Tupac Shakur. Investigators believe Keefe D was the one who plotted the hit on Tupac. Keefe D has publicly admitted to being in the white Cadillac where the bullets were fired from. Keefe D is the last person alive who was in the Cadillac as the other three men and suspects are now deceased. The Tupac murder case has recently been re-opened due to the new evidence against Keefe D of him publicly giving details to the murder of Tupac Shakur from a number of interviews and a book he wrote Compton Street Legend.
Duane Davis is currently in custody in the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada as he’s been charged with the murder of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur. Tupac’s murder has been a mystery for 27 years but can potentially be finally solved.
Horror- scopes!
by Rey Montano
Nothing screams spooky like the vast universe; star signs can be signifiers of our personality traits and can signal to us where turbulent periods will be in our life. Read this month’s horror-scope for some solid, reliable life advice.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): Are you hearing things again?
Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Stay away from all major intersections for the next 3 moons.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): Try and keep your feelings in check. Turbulence is on the way, but with some meditation, you’ll be able to ride it out.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Eyes…forty of them….
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): The flowers are dying this time of year. If you’re wise, you’ll take it as a sign.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Like a jigsaw falling into place, the beginning of the end will click and shatter. Within the next fortnight, you will understand.
Leo (July 23 – August 22): For 40 days and 40 nights you will wander around the temple; not understanding that the door was always behind you.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22): The angel of death; he does not look upon you with mercy. Perched atop an alter built to him, he sees himself above any common soul of yours.
Libra (September 23 – October 22): When in doubt, hide.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): You have bad luck. Try again next year.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Get rid of your bedframe. It can’t hide under your bed if you don’t have a bedframe.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): It’s dangerous outside. It’s lethal inside.
Some may consider the spookiest thing about horoscopes to be that anyone can write them.
Happy Halloween!
