The investigation into rapper┬аTupac ShakurтАШs 1996 murder continues as police continue to search for answers nearly 30 years later.

The Las Vegas Metro Police confirmed to ET that a search warrant was served at a home in Henderson, Nevada Monday as part of the ongoing investigation into ShakurтАЩs death. The LVMPD declined to comment further.

Shakur was┬аshot multiple times┬аin Las Vegas in 1996 while leaving a boxing match at the MGM Grand Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip.

The тАЬDear MamaтАЭ rapper was in a car with Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight when a white Cadillac pulled up beside them and began shooting out of the back window, killing Shakur.

While authorities believed at the time that the 25-year-old rapper was the intended target of the shooting, the investigation remains unsolved, with police continuing to search for answers as to who killed the GRAMMY-nominated musician.

Shakur was one of the most popular rappers in the world when he was killed, selling over 75 million records worldwide тАФ and became a legend after his death, with dozens of posthumous albums, books, documentaries and films released about him and his untimely death. He was even turned into a hologram for Snoop Dogg and Dr. DreтАЩs 2012 Coachella performance. Shakur was┬аinducted┬аinto the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017, and just last month, he posthumously received a┬аstar on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The update is the latest in the case following a 2019 lead from Greg Kading, a retired Los Angeles police detective, who alleged to CBS News Los Angeles┬аthat ShakurтАЩs murder had already been solved after Duane Davis тАФ also known as Keffe D тАФ confessed to his involvement in the murder of Shakur while being questioned in connection with the murder of The Notorious B.I.G., also known as Christopher Wallace.

But at the time, Las Vegas police only said that the case was still an open investigation.

In the more than 25 years since ShakurтАЩs death, no arrests have been made. The police department┬аhas cited┬аa lack of cooperation from people close to Shakur as a reason for the stalled investigation.
