Tupac Shakur crime scene investigator Cheryl McCollum believes Sean “Diddy” Combs is involved in Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder and a previous shooting in 1994.
“This whole thing started for me in 1994, when Tupac was shot for the first time,” McCollum, who was responsible for Shakur’s death in 1996, told News Nation on Friday.
The “All Eyez on Me” hitmaker was shot and killed during a robbery at Quad Studios in New York City’s Times Square. At the time, Sean “Diddy” Combs was in the studio with an entourage of about 40 people.
“You don’t have to shoot someone five times to take their jewelry or money,” McCallum explained.
“Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs and 40 of his cronies? Unharmed. Not threatened.”
“What does it mean to anyone if one person gets robbed and the other forty don’t? Who had more money and jewelry? Forty.”
After the shooting, Shakur, Biggie Smalls (also known as Notorious B.I.G.), his label Bad Boy Records, and the label’s founder, Combs, limped into the studio, bleeding. He publicly accused them of being involved in the incident because of their nonchalant reaction when he arrived. on him.
“No one approached me. I realized that no one was looking at me,” he recalled to Vibe magazine in 1995.
“Puffy was standing in the back too. I knew Puffy,” he said. “He knew how much I had done for Biggie before I came out.”
Two years later, Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting as he was leaving a boxing match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
“Both times Tupac Shakur gets shot, he’s trapped in something,” McCollum explained to NewsNation on Friday.
“He got trapped in the elevator and then in the car. There’s literally nowhere for him to run.”
“But ironically, there is no video footage of both scenes,” she added. “For me, this means that someone close to him knows his whereabouts on that day, that time, and that place.”
“To me, that would significantly reduce the pool of suspects. Only a handful of people would have known where he was on both days.”
Unsurprisingly, Combs, 54, and Biggie vehemently denied any connection to Shakur’s death. Ironically, Biggie was murdered in 1997 and the case remains unsolved.
McCollum voiced his opinion after Page Six exclusively reported in July that Shakur’s family was considering filing a wrongful death lawsuit against Combs.
“People from Diddy’s past are coming forward and providing information,” a source told Us.
The family hired attorney Alex Spiro, who previously worked for Elon Musk and Megan Thee Stallion, to investigate.
The legal action comes after Duane “Keef D” Davis, who is currently charged in Shakur’s death, suggested in a 2009 interview with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department that Combs paid Shakur $1 million. It was done after.
Combs, of course, is already in prison awaiting trial in a sex trafficking and extortion case.
