Tupac Murder Eyewitness Testimony

During a weekend trip to Las Vegas in September 1996, Ingrid Stokes and her friends encountered Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight while driving down the Las Vegas Strip. They briefly followed the men's vehicle toward a club called 662 before stopping at a red light near Flamingo and Koval Lane, where Stokes planned to switch driving duties with her friend because she felt more aggressive behind the wheel. While they were unbuckling and preparing to change seats with the convertible top down, sudden gunfire erupted nearby, causing complete chaos and panic. Stokes did not see the shooters or the gunfire itself, but she immediately urged her terrified friend to drive away from the scene. Although the women briefly returned to the area later, they experienced hostile treatment from police and ultimately chose not to speak about the traumatic incident publicly for decades due to fears of retaliation and neighborhood distrust of law enforcement.
