Suge Knight Says He Was The Target When Tupac Was Killed
Another chapter in the saga of the investigation of Tupac Shakur’s murder has been revealed as Suge Knight‘s lawyer says in an affidavit that Suge knows who killed the West Coast rap icon and that it was, in fact, Suge himself who was the intended target of the hit.
The rap mogul made the claims through lawyer Thad- deus Culpepper and said that his ex-wife Sharitha and Death Row Records se- curity chief, Reggie Wright Jr. were behind the infa- mous drive-by shooting, WENN reports.
Tupac was shot in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996 riding in the passenger seat of a BMW that Knight was driving after they attended a Mike Tyson boxing match. He died six days later.
The story is told in the doc- umentary Tupac Assassina- tion: Battle For Compton, which was released on DVD earlier this year. When Knight found out about the

project, he reportedly sent out private investigators to find how the filmmakers knew what happened that fateful night.
“He admitted to Culpep- per that the theories in the movie were true,” a source said.
The theory says that Sharitha and Wright con- spired to take out Knight to take over Death Row. It’s not a new theory, though. A sim- ilar chain of events was put forth in the book Tupac 187: The Red Knight, which was co-written by former LAPD detective Russell Poole and
the same people behind the Battle For Compton film, Michael Douglas Carlin and Richard Bond.
“Culpepper told Carlin individually that not only did Knight confirm the events as portrayed in Compton, which portray Knight was the intended target and Shakur as collateral dam- age, as true, but also goes on to allege that these 1996 events may have been the first in a history of attempts on Knight’s life.
Wright Jr. has com- mented on the shooting be- fore, and has denied involvement.
