Who is Tupac's sister, Sekyiwa Shakur?

Sekyiwa shared the same mother as Tupac - Afeni Shakur - while her dad was the star's stepfather Mutulu.

She and Tupac grew up together in Harlem, New York, but she has made a point of staying out of the spotlight.

Afeni, 69, died before a possible court battle over the rap superstar’s $150m estate.

She suffered a fatal heart attack at her home in Sausalito, California.

Sekyiwa operates the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation, which offers programs including services for Mental Health Awareness, Youth & Creative Arts, and Families Affected by Incarceration.

The foundation is based in California.

Is Sekyiwa married and does she have kids?

Sekyiwa is married to Gregory Jackson.

She has two sons, one named Malik and another named Cameron, and one daughter Nzingha - though their date of birth is not known.

Who was arrested in relation to Tupac's death?

Gangster Keefe D was arrested on September 29, 2023, in relation to Tupac's death after he talked about committing the crime.

Keefe has claimed multiple times that he was riding shotgun in a white Cadillac and offered his nephew, Orlando Anderson, the handgun that delivered the fatal shots to the Death Row rapper.

Tupac was shot near the Las Vegas strip in 1996.

The arrest comes just months after investigators raided a home in Las Vegas that was connected to Keefe.

On January 9, 2024, Keefe's bail was set to $750,000.
