Local movie producer to reveal Tupac Shakur faked his death.
Twenty-four years after his murder, speculations still remain regarding the death of Tupac Shakur in September 1996 in Las Vegas.
Local director Rick Boss is making a film that examines the idea that the late rapper is still alive, according to a news report from Las Vegas ‘ KTNV Channel 13, 9 Feb.
The film, aptly titled 2Pac: The Great Escape From UMC, will actually-enact the Las Vegas shooting events and Tupac’s escape scheme from Las Vegas University Medical Center involving a double body and a move to New Mexico.
“This movie is about Tupac actually escaping from University Medical Center here in Vegas and relocating to New Mexico [and] getting protection from the Navajo tribe,” Boss explains to KTNV.
Rick Boss believes he’d been informed of a supposed attack on him when Tupac arrived in Las Vegas for fighting night. That is when the escape plan was conceived, including the installation of a body double in the BMW car of Suge Knight and a planned aerial exit from Vegas.
“When certain FBI agencies are looking for you, they are going to block the airport,” said Boss. “So you can’t travel out so the best way to escape is through helicopter, private helicopter to another state.”
Boss adds that FBI agents are not permitted to go to tribal land without authorization from the tribal council, which is why Navajo land in New Mexico made for Tupac the perfect hideout.
While all this seems far-fetched, Boss claims to have his information from people within the family and inner circle of Tupac.
“You can write a fiction. You can write a fiction story but this is not a fiction,” he stated. “This is facts through certain people I know.”
Richard Garcia, the actor who plays Tupac in the movie, claims the late rapper died on Sept. 13, 1996 in Las Vegas, but his legacy is still very much alive.
“He’s gone but he lives on,” he said. “Like you said, like his mother (the late Afeni Shakur) said, he lives on through all of us and through our memories and through our hearts and through our tribute.”
Boss said he wants Tupac fans to watch the movie and make their own decisions.
