Tupac – Man Allegedly Connected To His Murder Going To Jail For Selling Crack

The murder of rapper Tupac Shakur still remains one of the biggest unsolved mysteries, a man who was once said to be linked to the crime is now going to jail. Darnell Brim has been sentenced to a decade behind bars after ATF officers caught him in the act of attempting to distribute cocaine, according to reports. It’s been long rumored (but unconfirmed)that Brim was one of the men in the white Cadillac that shot into Suge Knight’s car in 1996, killing Tupac.

Still, Suge Knight once said he believes there’s a chance Tupac is still alive. He said back in 2017,

“When Pac died — I mean, if he really did, you know. I mean, when I left that hospital, me and Pac was laughing and joking. So I don’t see how somebody can turn from doing well to doing bad. I’m gonna tell you that with Pac, you never know.”

Police who investigated Tupac’s murder were convinced that Brim, who has gang affiliations with the South Side Compton Crips, was connected to the shooting.

Interestingly enough, two days after Tupac’s passing, Brim was shot in a drive-by shooting in Compton. Authorities said it was possibly for retaliation.

Since then, Brim has been in and out of trouble. In 2013, he was caught during a sting operation and pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute crack and distribution of crack. Both are felony crimes.
