Police reveal Tupacs final words!!! The first police officer at the scene of Tupac Shakurs 1996 drive-by murder has revealed the last words spoken by the late rap legend. And theyre 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. Shakur was shot multiple times on September 7th, 1996. After leaving a boxing match with former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight, the rapper and his bodyguards got into a scuffle with 21-year-old Crips gang member Orlando Anderson in the lobby of the MGM Grand casino. Carroll, who worked with the citys bike patrol unit, had also been watching the same Mike Tyson fight, but was unaware of the brawl taking place in the lobby. Later, a white Cadillac pulled up beside Knight and Shakur while they were stopped at a traffic light and one man began shooting out of the back window. Carroll was the first officer to respond to the grisly scene. I grab the car door and Im trying to open it, but I cant get it open, he says. [Knight] keeps coming up on my back, so Im pointing my gun at him. Im pointing it at the car. Im yelling, You guys lay down! And you, get the f**k away from me! And every time Id point the gun at him, hed back off and even lift his hands up, like All right! All right! So Id go back to the car, and here he comes again. Im like, F**ker, back off! This guy is huge, and the whole time hes running around at the scene, hes gushing blood from his head. Gushing blood! I mean the guy had clearly been hit in the head, but he had all his faculties. I couldnt believe he was running around and doing what he was doing, yelling back and forth. Rolling Stone: Saul Williams to star in Tupac- inspired musical Carroll says when he finally was able to open the door, Shakurs limp body fell out of the vehicle, like he was leaning against the door. So I grabbed him with my left arm, and he falls into me, and Ive still got my gun in the other hand, he continues. Hes covered with blood, and I immediately notice that the guys got a ton of gold on -- a necklace and other jewelry -- and all of the gold is covered in blood. That has always left an image in my mind. . . After I pulled him out, Suge starts yelling at him, Pac! Pac! And he just keeps yelling it. And the guy Im holding is trying to yell back at him. Hes sitting up and hes struggling to get the words out, but he cant really do it. And as Suge is yelling Pac!, I look down and I realize that this is Tupac Shakur. Carroll says he attempted to get a dying declaration of a potential suspect from Shakur, but the rapper was ignoring him at first. 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 Im at peace type of thing. Just like that. . . He went from fighting to I cant do it. And when he made that transition, he looked at me, and hes looking right in my eyes. And thats 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.
