Sam Parr tells how a dinner with Quincy Jones III and Nas allegedly prompted Las Vegas police to reopen Tupac's murder case after the LAPD mishandled it. The reopening led to a suspect's capture, with details emerging from DJ Vlad's interview with a gang member.
I have a good Tupac story for you.
Oh my gosh. All right. My wife was talking to Quincy Jones's son, QD3, and said, you need to move to Vegas. And he's like, fuck that. I'll never move to Vegas. They didn't solve the Tupac murder. Yeah. His sister Kidada was dating Tupac. I was like, let's have dinner with the Vegas PD and see what happened. And so me and QD3 and Nas sit down to dinner with the Las Vegas Police Department and they bring the whole case file. And it turns out the LAPD really fouled the case, like almost on purpose. So the end of the dinner, I say to the chief of police, Mike Gennaro, you ought to reopen the Tupac case. And they reopened the Tupac case and they caught the guy.
There's this guy named DJ Vlad who does these interviews with all these gangsters, and he got him to like tell the story about the murder. And this idiot went on a podcast and just said, yeah, here's what happened.
He thought he had immunity because the LAPD proffered him which means basically in exchange for testimony, we grant you immunity. But they granted him immunity in LA, not in Vegas.
