In 2002, The Los Angeles Times published a two-part series by reporter Chuck Philips, titled "Who Killed Tupac Shakur?," based on a yearlong investigation that reconstructed the crime and the events leading up to it.

A two-part 2002 article by journalist Chuck Philips called "Who Killed Tupac Shakur?" reported that: "the shooting was carried out by a Compton gang called the Southside Crips to avenge the beating of one of its members by Shakur a few hours earlier. Orlando Anderson, the Crip whom Shakur had attacked, fired the fatal shots. Las Vegas police discounted Anderson as a suspect and interviewed him only once, briefly. He was later killed in an unrelated gang shooting."
Evidence gathered by Philips showed that: "the shooting was carried out by a Compton gang called the Southside Crips to avenge the beating of one of its members by Shakur a few hours earlier. Orlando Anderson, the Crip whom Shakur had attacked, fired the fatal shots. Las Vegas police discounted Anderson as a suspect and interviewed him only once, briefly. He was later killed in an unrelated gang shooting."
The killer has never been caught, although it is widely believed that Crips gang member Orlando Anderson, who was murdered 18 months later, was the shooter.
