'F*** you': The last words of Tupac Shakur revealed by police officer who found him after 1996 shooting

There is still and no doubt always will be a lot of mystery surrounding the murder of Tupac Shakur.

But now, a police officer at the scene has revealed what he claims are the last words of the rapper.

Chris Carroll, who was on bike patrol along the Las Vegas Strip that fateful night of September 7, 1996, told Vegas Seven that Tupac said ‘F*** you’ to him just before falling out of consciousness forever.

Carroll had pulled Tupac from the passenger seat of the car after he was shot several times in a drive-by.

The officer recalled that he had asked the 25-year-old who shot him several times, but Tupac wouldn’t answer and instead was apparently yelling at Suge Knight.

‘He went from fighting to “I can’t do it.”,’ Carroll said. ‘And when he made that transition, he looked at me, and he’s looking right in my eyes.

‘And that’s when I looked at him and said one more time, “Who shot you?”

‘He looked at me and he took a breath to get the words out, and he opened his mouth, and I thought I was actually going to get some cooperation. And then the words came out: “F*** you.’”

Carroll added: ‘After that, he started gurgling and slipping out of consciousness. At that point, an ambulance showed up, and he went into unconsciousness.’

Tupac was then taken to hospital and put on life support and then under a barbiturate-induced coma.

He died of internal bleeding on September 13 and doctors tried to revive him until his mother Afeni decided to tell them to stop.
