A man accused of orchestrating the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur is set to go on trial this week, according to reports from ABC News and the Winnipeg Free Press.
The case centers on allegations about who planned or directed the attack that killed Shakur in 1996. Coverage notes the trial is beginning, but does not establish in the provided excerpts what specific charges the defendant faces or what evidence the prosecution and defense will present. Both outlets frame the proceedings as a major attempt to litigate responsibility for the widely discussed unsolved killing.
The two sources largely align on the basic development—trial proceedings begin—but they differ in how they present additional context and “what to know” details, with the Winnipeg Free Press providing a guide format. ABC News emphasizes the start of the trial and the claim that the defendant orchestrated the killing.
