Opening statements begin in Las Vegas for the murder trial of rapper Tupac Shakur. The court proceedings start 30 years after his 1996 killing. A former gang leader faces charges in court for directing the drive-by shooting.
The murder trial features a limited number of witnesses to the drive-by shooting. Shakur's brother told the BBC that the murder trial cannot offer justice. He stated that he longs to get his brother back. The New York Times indicated that there are very few eyewitnesses to the drive-by shooting as opening statements begin in Las Vegas.
