Considered one of the most important hip hop artists of all time, Tupac Shakur's influence on modern music is without question. His early gangster persona, coupled with his unbridled talent as a writer and musician, quickly made him a generational talent beloved throughout the world. With a successful and burgeoning acting career also in full swing, Shakur met his end just off the famous Las Vegas Strip - the victim of a drive-by shooting that left him in a coma and then dead just six days later. To this day, his murder remains officially unsolved.

Former newspaper reporter and accomplished true crime author Cathy Scott joins us to talk about who killed Tupac Shakur. Scott, who worked for the Las Vegas Sun on the night Shakur was murdered, investigated the story and wrote the book The Killing of Tupac Shakur. Scott breaks down how the Las Vegas police failed to carry out routine police work that could have quickly identified the killer. She also clears up the rumors and misconceptions about the night of Tupac's murder with eyewitness accounts and information from well-placed law enforcement sources.

Scott tells us who she believes, after years of research, killed Shakur.
