What did Tupac Shakur say before he died?

On the night of September 7, 1996, Tupac Shakur was shot multiple times after leaving a boxing match between Mike Tyson and Bruce Seldon in Las Vegas. First responders arrived at the scene, and Chris Carroll, a police officer, asked Shakur who had shot him. Carroll said that Shakur answered with an obscenity, “F**k you.” Shortly thereafter, Shakur lost consciousness, and he died six days later. In 2026 another police officer, Garry Dale, testified in court that he was with Shakur in the ambulance after the shooting. When Dale tried to get more information about what happened, Shakur told him, “No, we’ll take care of it.”
