Tupac Shakur

Tupac Shakur was born June 16, 1971 and died September 13, 1996 at just 25.

Tupac Shakur’s death was a major loss to the worlds of music and film — before his death, he delivered impressive performances in films from Juice to Poetic Justice, and seemed poised to become one of the most successful Gen X actors and rappers, a performer who could convey incredible empathy and charisma both onstage and in front of a camera.

He died from injuries in a Las Vegas shooting. Earlier this year, police arrested a man they say ordered the shooting.
