Hip Hop legend Tupac Amaru Shakur would have turned 40 today had those five bullets not hit their target. But a day to what would be his birthday, a man has come forward claiming to have shot and wounded the rapper years before his death.
According to allhiphop.com Dexter Isaac has admitted to being involved in the attack on rap star Tupac Shakur inside Manhattan's Quad Studios in November of 1994, after allegedly being paid $2,500 dollars by James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond.
Isaac, a former friend of Rosemond, currently serving life in prison for murder, robbery and other offenses confessed his involvement in the 1994 shooting of the rapper to AllHipHop.com.
"I want to apologize to his family [Tupac Shakur] and for the mistake I did for that sucker [Jimmy Henchman]," Dexter Isaac told AllHipHop.com from prison. "I am trying to clean it up to give [Tupac and Biggie's] mothers some closure."
Isaac, who is from Brooklyn, has long been suspected of being involved in the Quad shooting of Tupac Shakur, along with an associate named Spencer "Scooter" Bowens, who is also serving a life sentence and another man named George Roland Campbell.
The November 30th shooting was the start of a deadly feud that resulted in the murders of both Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G.
Their murders have never been solved.
Isaac was indicted by the government in 1998 and subsequently sentenced to life in prison for murder, robbery, fraud and witness intimidation.
