Police in Las Vegas raided a residence as part of their investigation into the death of rap artist Tupac Shakur over three decades ago.
According to AFP, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department "can confirm a search warrant was served" in the nearby city of Henderson on Monday.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, a residence was searched.
Shakur, the best-selling hip-hop musician behind singles like "California Love," was killed down in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas when he was only 25 years old, and his assailants have never been apprehended.
The search on Monday was "part of the ongoing Tupac Shakur homicide investigation," according to a police statement released on Tuesday.
"This is an unsolved case and hopefully one day we can change that,” Lt. Jason Johansson told the Review-Journal.
Shakur had a brief but spectacular career, rapidly rising from backup dancer to self-styled gangsta rapper and one of the most influential figures in hip-hop, who sold 75 million records.
Shakur also became a key figure in a vaunted rivalry, egged on by promoters, between East Coast and West Coast hip-hop.
Though born in New York, Shakur moved as a teenager with his family to California, becoming one of the most identifiable figures in the West Coast scene.
The circumstances of Shakur’s death in September 1996 remain murky, and theories have long abounded.
Shakur’s murder was followed six months later by the gunning down of his rival East Coast rapper Christopher “The Notorious BIG” Wallace.
Many believe they were slain as part of a rivalry between their music labels, LA-based Death Row and New York’s Bad Boy Entertainment.
But some music historians say the coastal rift was exaggerated for commercial reasons.
Shakur — whose mother Afeni was active in the Black Panther movement and named him after Tupac Amaru, a revolutionary Inca chief — used his lyrics to raise issues facing Black Americans, from police brutality to mass incarceration.
