Inside The Night That Tupac Shakur Was Shot, And What Led Up To The Fatal Gunfire

Tupac Shakur's Unsolved Murder: Police Share New Development 26 Years After Rapper's Death

LAS VEGAS — Duane “Keffe D” Davis, one of the last surviving witnesses to the Las Vegas drive-by shooting of the hip-hop superstar Tupac Shakur in 1996, was indicted for murder on Friday, marking the first arrest in Shakur’s death. Here’s a glimpse at the hours that led up to the fatal gunfire.

Shakur and Suge Knight, the head of his record label, Death Row Records, arrived in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, with an entourage that included Shakur’s fiancee, Kidada Jones, as well as his cousins and friends, to watch a heavyweight title fight between Mike Tyson and Bruce Seldon.

Shakur and Knight took their seats in the front row at the MGM Grand Garden Arena around 8:30 p.m.

Shortly after that, the brawl broke out. Less than two minutes later, Tyson knocked out Seldon in the first round to claim the WBA Heavyweight championship.

AFTERMATH OF THE BATTLE AND ANOTHER BATTLE

Shakur and Tyson, who were friends, embraced in joy just off the arena floor at approximately 8:40 p.m., shortly after the fight concluded.

Shakur, Knight, and their entourage engaged in a brawl at 8:50 p.m. in the hotel and casino area just outside the arena with a group that included Davis and his nephew Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, with whom Shakur had previously clashed. Las Vegas police stated that Davis and Anderson were members of the Southern California-based gang South Side Compton Crips, rivals of the Knight’s Blood-affiliated Mob Piru.

Police say surveillance footage shows Shakur and Knight striking and kicking Anderson near a lift bank.

Anderson, who was slain in a 1998 gang shooting unrelated to Tupac’s death, was long suspected of being responsible for his death.

Shakur, Knight, and their entourage departed the MGM Grand shortly before 9 p.m.

From approximately 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., the precise timeline of Shakur’s night is still being determined, but he was eventually obligated, along with Tyson and Knight, to make a late appearance at Club 662, which Knight owned. Before proceeding to Knight’s Las Vegas home, the Death Row entourage left the MGM Grand and stopped at the adjacent Luxor Hotel and Casino, where Jones was staying.

Police alleged at a news conference on Friday that Davis would spend this time acquiring a weapon to use in retaliation for the casino brawl.

A BLACK BMW, A WHITE CADILLAC, AND FIREARMS

Shakur was a passenger in Knight’s black BMW when it was stopped by police near the Las Vegas Strip at approximately 11 p.m. for playing music too loudly and not properly displaying license plates. Shakur and Knight joked with the officers the license plates were discovered in the trunk and were not cited.

The BMW stopped at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane, a block from the Strip, at 11:15 p.m.

“We were on our way to Club 662,” Malcolm Greenidge, a lifelong friend of Tupac Shakur who traveled to Las Vegas with him and was traveling in a car behind the BMW, testified to the grand jury that indicted Davis. “Several women approached from the passenger side. Mr. Shakur started conversing with the women. We were unable to hear what he was saying. We believed he was most likely summoning them to the club.”

A white Cadillac approached stealthily. Davis has stated in interviews and his 2019 autobiography that he was one of the males in the automobile. According to a press conference held by police on Friday, he was sitting in the passenger seat and passed the gun he had obtained to one of the men in the rear.

Greenidge told the grand jury, “After the women left, another car pulled up alongside Mr. Shakur and Mr. Knight, and an arm emerged from the back window and began firing.”

The gunman discharged over a dozen rounds. Two of the four bullets struck Shakur in the torso. A bullet fragment grazed Knight in the temple, but he sustained only minor injuries. Knight is currently serving a 28-year manslaughter sentence in an unrelated California case.

Shakur was transported to University Medical Centre at 11:20 p.m. after police and paramedics arrived.

Shakur would have a lung removed and remain on a respirator in intensive care in the following days. Six days later, on September 13, he perished. He was 25 years old.

Streaming of iBOMMA Telugu Movies Surges in Canada

Published

on

Check out the upcoming release dates for all Telugu films.

In recent years, iBOMMA Telugu Movies have emerged not only as a leader, but as one of the most important platforms for streaming Telugu movies in Canada. In the midst of the increase in the international establishment of streaming services in the western sphere.

This rapid expansion of  Telugu Movies can also be seen in the demand for regional content due to the increasing South Asian population within Canada.

The growth of the iBOMMA platform makes sense as there is a large population of Telugu speakers in Canada. The growing South Asian population in cities like Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and others has aided in the diversification of the market and similar platforms.

“Between 2013 and 2023, Indians immigrating to Canada rose from 32,828 to 139,715, an increase of 326%,” according to Forbes.

Indian enrollment at Canadian universities rose more than 5,800% in the last two decades, from 2,181 in 2000 to 128,928 in 2021, an increase of 126,747 students.

Between 2016 and 2019, Indian international students enrolled in U.S. universities dropped by 13% but increased by 182% at Canadian universities. Diplomatic issues between India and Canada have reduced Indian student visa approvals in the short term.

International student enrollment at Canadian universities rose from 62,223 in 2000 to 400,521 in 2021, increasing by 544%, according to the NFAP analysis. International student enrollment in America increased by 45% between 2000 and 2021.

Due to the increase in Telugu speaking people in Canada, streaming services for Telugu Canadians have shifted focus from entertainment to a tool to maintain their culture. With iBOMMA and its peers, they are able to stay in touch with a piece of their motherland while adapting to the realities of life in the Great White North.

Telugu cinema has started to grow in popularity outside of India, with several recent classics gradually starting to become of interest to the general populace. RRR and Kantara are among a slew of movies that are now finding success on a global stage, thus generating interest in films originating from the region.

This has in turn brought new customers onto iBOMMA Telugu Movies and introduced the platform to a whole new demographic of non Telugu – speakers.

In Canada these blockbusters have sparked some discussions and fans expressing their excitement on social media. The buzz around such films has often caused an increase in searches for options to stream the film, with iBOMMA Telugu Movies being a top.

Superman 2025 Trailer Drops With Great Fanfare

Published

on

James Gunn's next film, Superman 2025, has its first teaser trailer, which dropped on Thursday

James Gunn’s next film, Superman 2025, has its first teaser trailer, which dropped on Thursday. It gives DC fans their first look at David Corenswet’s Superman, AKA Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

Before its release, DC Studios unveiled a Superman 2025 enamel pin on Monday featuring a revamped Corenswet in her superhero costume and an updated depiction of Pierce Brosnahan’s daring reporter on Wednesday.

In 2025, Superman fans will be able to enjoy Gunn’s new storytelling, a new main actor, and more character development. Many are also curious about whether Superman will face Ultraman.

The preview opens with Superman, battered and bloodied, crash-landing in a desolate, icy scene. His canine sidekick, Krypto, also known as Super Dog, rushes to his aid after he has visions of himself as Clark in the Daily Planet office and at his parents’ house.

The trailer offers few storyline details, aside from the involvement of a fire-breathing dragon and the shaved-head Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. It seems that Superman 2025 also attracts the ire of the general public; one irate citizen even beaned him on the back of the head with a throwaway cup.

After revealing his grand vision for the newly formed DCU in 2023, Gunn’s film—originally named Superman: Legacy—would serve as the prequel to a trilogy dubbed Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. The sequels will feature films centred around Supergirl, Clayface, and Swamp Thing.

Krypto Appears in Superman 2025

Despite living among other super-beings, Gunn noted that Corenswet’s Superman can stand on Earth due to his devotion and honesty.

In addition to his enormous stronghold that emerges from the ground, Superman possesses a flying dog and battles enormous creatures. The director praised Superman in his film for bringing elements from the comics and mythology that fans have been missing from the superhero franchise.

He may have done it again with Krypto, this time with a take that challenges the canine stereotype of a muscular, well-groomed hero.

More than anything else, this one appears to be a rescue operation. According to Gunn, the dog that steals the show in the trailer isn’t the greatest. You’re missing out on much of Krypto’s depth in this trailer.

According to Gunn, “it’s a movie about kindness” when asked about the film’s themes.

In the 2025 teaser for Superman, Superman only says, “Take me home,” and whispers Krypto’s name. John Williams’s iconic score from the Christopher Reeve films gets a modern update to underscore the video.

Superman 2025, the first solo film starring Superman since 2013’s Man of Steel, opens on July 11, and a lot is riding on it.

The property is the foundation for the ambitious plans of DC Studios co-chiefs Gunn and Peter Safran, who were appointed to re-invent DC by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav. Their plans include an entire universe of television shows and films.

Social influencers have also had an impact. This increased enthusiasm is seen in YouTube channels evaluating Telugu movies and Instagram clips showing Tollywood dance numbers. Many consumers watch Telugu films on their mobile devices, reducing the need for traditional cable subscriptions.

Furthermore, subtitles have made Telugu movies available to non-Telugu-speaking Canadians. With English as the primary language in Canada, this function allows for a more seamless watching experience. The global enthusiasm for Indian regional cinema is growing, and Canada has emerged as a surprising hotbed for cultural interchange.

Apps and platforms that cater to certain hobbies, such as Telugu films, are here to stay, assuming they strike the correct balance.

iBomma’s success in Canada demonstrates Telugu cinema’s global appeal. These films have won the hearts of Canadians with their fascinating storylines, relatable emotions, and jaw-dropping action.

While debates about legality and piracy continue, iBomma’s contribution to propagating Telugu Movie culture worldwide is obvious. Whether it’s a blockbuster like Pushpa 2 or a lesser indie treasure, platforms like iBomma take localized stories worldwide.
