A trial involving a man accused of orchestrating Tupac Shakur’s 1996 killing begins in Las Vegas, with opening arguments expected after jury selection starts. Several outlets report that the case has been delayed for decades and is now moving into the evidence phase.

The sources broadly agree on the timeline and location: Tupac is killed in Las Vegas, and the current proceedings are taking place roughly 30 years later. Coverage also notes that the rapper’s death remains a defining moment in the 1990s East Coast–West Coast hip-hop rivalry, which involved multiple prominent figures. Some outlets emphasize the long wait and the family’s role as supporters attend the courthouse for the start of jury selection. Other pieces highlight cultural context, including Tupac’s enduring reputation, as testimony and weeks of proceedings are set to revisit what happened on the street.
