Los Angeles, July 27 (RHC)-- The murder investigation into the death of rap artist Tupac Shakur is reportedly being revived.   Shakur died in 1996, after being shot in the chest on the Las Vegas Strip. 

For almost 30 years, the case has gone cold; police said there were no witnesses willing to come forward.   Now, according to reports, police are set to present evidence to a grand jury, after raiding a house belonging to Duane Keith Davis, known as Keefe D.

Observers say that Tupac Shukar music and specifically his lyrics criticising police -- along with his family’s background in the Black Panther Party -- may be reasons why the investigation stalled in the first place.  But now it appears to be going forward again.
