US police have reportedly reopened their investigations into a 1994 shooting at New York's Quad Studios in the belief it may help them finally solve the mystery surrounding the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur.
Shakur was shot five times during the incident at the studios, though on that occasion survived. Original investigations into the shooting never discovered who was behind it, or what their motive was, although at the time the rapper accused Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Christopher 'Notorious BIG' Wallace and one time associate Jimmy 'Henchman' Rosemond, the boss of Czar Entertainment, of all being involved.
The latest police investigations are rumoured to all centre on the activities of Rosemond, and may involve reassessing a number of hip hop related shootings and murders. Allhiphop.com quote a sources as saying: "They are investigating the Quad shooting and other unsolved murders related to the hip-hop business. No one was killed in the Quad incident, so that aspect is dead as an investigation. But what they are investigating is the shooting's connection to Tupac's murder in Las Vegas."
Rosemond, of course, has always denied having any involvement in either the Quad shooting or the murder of Shakur.
