A prosecutor told a jury that a former Los Angeles street gang leader orchestrated the 1996 drive-by shooting of hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas. The statement was made during opening arguments in a murder trial concerning the long-unsolved killing of the musician.
The prosecution alleges that the shooting was carried out as an act of retribution following the beating of the gang leader's nephew. The trial represents a significant development in a case that has remained unresolved for decades.
