Sheryl McCollum, a crime scene investigator who worked on Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder case, has suggested a possible connection between Sean “Diddy” Combs and the rapper’s death, as well as his earlier 1994 shooting.
Speaking to NewsNation on Friday, McCollum said, “This whole thing to me started in 1994 — the first time Tupac is shot.” She questioned the circumstances of the 1994 incident at New York’s Quad Studios, where Shakur was shot during an alleged robbery while Combs and an entourage were present in the building.
“Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs and his entourage of 40? Unharmed. Unthreatened,” McCollum noted, expressing skepticism about the official narrative.
Shakur had previously accused Combs, along with rapper Biggie Smalls and their label Bad Boy Records, of involvement in the 1994 shooting, citing their apparent lack of concern when he arrived at the studio wounded.
McCollum also drew parallels between the 1994 incident and Shakur’s fatal 1996 shooting in Las Vegas. “Both times that Tupac Shakur is shot, he is trapped in something,” she observed. “He’s trapped in an elevator, and then he’s trapped in a car. There is literally nowhere to run.”
These comments come amid renewed interest in Shakur’s unsolved murder, following recent developments in the case. Authorities have not commented on McCollum’s statements.
Representatives for Combs did not immediately respond to requests for comment on these allegations.
As the investigation into Shakur’s death continues, these statements add to the complex narrative surrounding one of hip-hop’s most enduring mysteries.
