The first police officer at the scene of Tupac Shakur's 1996 drive-by murder has revealed the last words spoken by the late rap legend. And they're not exactly peaceful.
"He looked at me, and he took a breath to get
the words out, and he opened his mouth," says Chris Carroll, a retired
sergeant with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, in a
new feature with Vegas Seven. "And then the words came out: 'F**k
you.'"
"And then I saw in his face, in his movements,
all of a sudden in the snap of a finger, he changed," he says.
"And
he went from struggling to speak, being noncooperative, to an 'I'm at peace'
type of thing. Just like that. . . He went from fighting to 'I can't do it.'
And when he made that transition, he looked at me, and he's looking right in my
eyes. And that's when I looked at him and said one more time, 'Who shot you?'.
. . He looked at me and he took a breath to get the words out, and he opened
his mouth, and I thought I was actually going to get some cooperation. And then
the words came out: 'F**k you.' After that, he started gurgling and slipping
out of consciousness."
