Tupac Shakur ‘faked his death and fled medical center after drive-by shooting to live in New Mexico’

A new documentary claims rapper Tupac Shakur is still alive after faking his own death and fleeing to New Mexico where he is being protected by the Navajo.

The film alleges Shakur escaped from University Medical Center in Las Vegas after he was gunned down in 1996.

Shakur was hit four times in a drive-by shooting as he was being driven by notorious record producer, Suge Knight, after watching a Mike Tyson fight at a casino in Sin City. 

The 25-year-old was struck in the chest, arm and thigh by the four .40 caliber rounds.

The legendary musician died in hospital from his wounds six days later and the killer has never been caught, despite numerous theories over the identity.

But filmmaker Rick Boss purports that Shakur did not pass away in hospital and in fact sneaked out of the ward and fled to New Mexico to start a new life.

Filmmaker Rick Boss claims rapper Tupac Shakur is alive and well and living in New Mexico with the Navajo tribe 

In the explosive new documentary, 2Pac: The Great Escape From UMC, Tupac Shakur, Boss claims the rapper is being protected by the Navajo tribe.

Boss says the Native American tribe, who live throughout New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah for a perfect hideaway as FBI agents are not allowed on their land. 

The filmmaker alleges the rapper arrived in Las Vegas for fight night and was told of a planned hit on him. 

That was when the escape plan, involving planting a double in Knight’s BMW to a strategic aerial exit by helicopter, was born. 

Boss told KTNV: ‘After the shooting. What’s next? This movie is about Tupac actually escaping from University Medical Center here in Vegas and relocating to New Mexico.

‘Getting protection from the Navajo tribe. When certain FBI agencies are looking for you, they are going to block the airport.

‘So you can’t travel out so the best way to escape is through helicopter, private helicopter to another state.’

Witnesses to the Vegas shooting described seeing a white Cadillac pull up alongside the pair’s black BMW – from which the assailant then carried out the shooting in a matter of seconds. 

Suge Knight, who headed up Death Row Records, survived the attack and went on to be jailed for 28 years over the hit-and-run killing of Terry Carter, his friend and co-founder of Heavyweight Records, in 2015.

Many conspiracy theories have spread since the shooting of Shakur, often by fans desperate for the rapper to still be alive. 

Boss added: ‘When certain FBI agencies are looking for you, they are going to block the airport.

‘So you can’t travel out so the best way to escape is through helicopter, private helicopter to another state.’

Boss said the documentary, which comes out next year, will focus on the rapper’s circle of family and friends and claims it is not a work of fiction.

He added: ‘You can write a fiction. You can write a fiction story but this is not a fiction. This is facts through certain people I know.

‘Let’s just say Mr Shakur – the family is aware of the movie and they’re okay with the title so that should tell you more or less what’s going on.’

It comes after a private investigator claimed that there is proof that rapper Tupac is ”alive and well and living in Belize”.  

The filmmaker also leaked a photo of the rapper pictured after 1996 on his YouTube channel and is convinced that it is the real thing.

Last December a so-called Tupac body-double was allegedly spotted at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
