![]() Rolling Stone: Kendrick Lamar covers Tupac at iHeartRadio Awards And then the words came out: ‘F**k you.’ After that, he started gurgling and slipping out of consciousness.” 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. 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 he went from struggling to speak, being noncooperative, to an ‘I’m at peace’ type of thing. “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 as Suge is yelling ‘Pac!,’ I look down and I realize that this is Tupac Shakur.”Ĭarroll says he attempted to get a “dying declaration” of a potential suspect from Shakur, but the rapper was ignoring him at first. He’s sitting up and he’s struggling to get the words out, but he can’t really do it. And the guy I’m holding is trying to yell back at him. 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. “He’s covered with blood, and I immediately notice that the guy’s got a ton of gold on – a necklace and other jewelry – and all of the gold is covered in blood. “So I grabbed him with my left arm, and he falls into me, and I’ve still got my gun in the other hand,” he continues. Rolling Stone: Saul Williams to star in Tupac-inspired musicalĬarroll says when he finally was able to open the door, Shakur’s limp body fell out of the vehicle, “like he was leaning against the door.” I couldn’t believe he was running around and doing what he was doing, yelling back and forth.” Gushing blood! I mean the guy had clearly been hit in the head, but he had all his faculties. I’m like, ‘F**ker, back off!’ This guy is huge, and the whole time he’s running around at the scene, he’s gushing blood from his head. I’m yelling, ‘You guys lay down! And you, get the f**k away from me!’ And every time I’d point the gun at him, he’d back off and even lift his hands up, like ‘All right! All right!’ So I’d go back to the car, and here he comes again. “ keeps coming up on my back, so I’m pointing my gun at him. “I grab the car door and I’m trying to open it, but I can’t get it open,” he says. Carroll was the first officer to respond to the grisly scene. 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, who worked with the city’s bike patrol unit, had also been watching the same Mike Tyson fight, but was unaware of the brawl taking place in the lobby. 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. Shakur was shot multiple times on September 7th, 1996.
