Tupac Shakur's final words he said to a responding cop before he was rushed to the hospital and was declared dead six days later were "F**k you!," New York Daily News has learned.
American rapper-actor Tupac Amaru Shakur, or famously known as 2Pac, has been dead for many years now, but it was only recently when the responding cop at the time of Tupac's close-to-being-dead moments opened up to the media.
"F**k you!" was the last words of the rapper and it was also his response to the former Las Vegas police officer Chris Carroll's query: "Who shot you?"
The 25-year-old rapper uttered the expletives while Carroll repeatedly asked him on what had happened and who was the one who shot him.
Nearly 18 years following the bloody incident, Carroll has now opened up about Tupac Shakur's final moments before he was rushed to a nearby hospital but declared dead six days later.
"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--- you,'" Carroll, who is now an ex-cop of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, said.
"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--- you,'" Carroll added on 2Pac's final moments.
Tupac Shakur was shot four times in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996. About 18 years has passed and still the rapper's shooter continues to remain a mystery, Vanyaland wrote.
Carroll was reportedly on patrol at the time of Tupac's shooting, and he was also the first responding officer at the scene.
Shakur's fatal shooting took place after a Mike Tyson fight at the MGM Grand; however, no evidence or reports were able to connect the shooting to the fight, Fashion Times reported.
The ex-cop said that he kept quiet for so many years about the rapper's final words because the homicide case is still open and because the incident only adds to the "live-fast, die-young rapper's legend."
"... I didn't want Tupac to be a martyr or hero because he told the cops 'F--- you.' I didn't want to give him that," Carroll gushed. "I didn't want people to say, 'Even when the chips were down, his life on the line, he still said 'F--- you,' he still wouldn't talk to the police.' I didn't want him to be a hero for that. And now enough time has passed, well, he's a martyr anyway; he's viewed as a hero anyway. My story, at this point, isn't going to change any of that."
Shakur's cousin, Sean DeFrank, wrote an article about the rapper's untimely death in Vegas Seven magazine, and DeFrank claims that what took place according to previous reports is seemingly different from what Carroll is now saying.
New York Daily News reported it is believed that the killer of Tupac Shakur was Orlando Anderson, a man who was beaten by the recording artist's entourage in the MGM's casino just shortly following the boxing match.
However, Anderson was also shot dead in an unrelated shooting in Compton, California in May 1998.
