Tupac Shakur's murder: his brother says he is not expecting justice from the trial

As the trial of the man accused of killing rapper Tupac Shakur begins, his half-brother Mopreme Shakur says that this judgment will not give him back what he has lost.

Nearly thirty years after Tupac Shakur's murder in Las Vegas, the trial of the main suspect begins with opening arguments this Monday. Mopreme Shakur, the rapper's half-brother, agreed to speak on the eve of the hearing. His message is devoid of illusions: "I want to find my brother," he declared, adding that no conviction could bring him the justice he truly seeks.

During this interview, Mopreme Shakur reflected on the night of the shooting in September 1996 and what it meant to grow up alongside the man who would become one of the most influential figures in global hip-hop. He discussed Tupac's legacy, whose influence continues to resonate across generations three decades after his death.

The suspect on trial in this case is being prosecuted for the murder of the rapper, who was shot dead in a car in Las Vegas at the age of 25. The investigation, which had long stalled, took a major turn in recent years before leading to this indictment.
