To some civil rights activists, however, the NYPD's reaction to the Times Square shooting of Shakur and the disinterest in later clues were disturbing. This is untracked bureaucratic negligence.

After serving nine months, Shakur left prison and resumed his musical career. He signed with Suge Knight's Death Row records, placing him at the center of the West Coast rap industry, with Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Snoop Doggy Dogg.
