I-Team: Paramedics recall Tupac Shakur shooting

It was a fight night in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996. Mike Tyson fought Bruce Seldon, but it was violence that erupted outside the ring that captured international headlines.

Rapper and actor Tupac Shakur got into a scuffle in the MGM Grand lobby. The fight was caught on camera.

Moments after he left, he was shot in a drive-by shooting. Two young paramedics, Shane and Jim, were working nearby.

“Cop cars kept flying by us, so we knew something was going on,” Shane said. “We just started following them.”

“I was driving,” Jim said. “I was 22-years-old at the time.”

“I had been a medic for roughly five years,” Shane said.

Jim and Shane – now Henderson firefighters – asked to have their last names remain anonymous, because they say they are concerned about their safety.

“Jim and I did everything that we could and gave him every ample... but the general public doesn't know that,” Shane said.

The shooting death of Shakur remains unsolved. Twenty years later, Jim and Shane describe an effort to save the 25-year-old musician’s life.

“The chaos, there was a lot of chaos, a lot of cop cars,” Shane said.

“Just as we started looking at each other to decide what we were doing, Metro told us to come in. They were waving us to come in,” Jim said.

As they exited their ambulance, they describe what happened next.

“Somebody met me at the back and said, ‘Go help my buddy,’ and, ‘My buddy's shot in the car.’ So, I went,” Jim said.

“Which ended up being ‘Suge’ Knight,” Shane said. “The whole car… it had… was riddled with bullet holes.”

Death Row Records co-founder Marion “Suge” Knight was the driver of the BMW in which Shakur was gunned down.

“We brought the gurney up, just pulled him out,” Shane said.

“Pulled him out, and that's when everybody was yelling, ‘Tupac, Tupac,’ and I leaned over to the cop, and I go, ‘This guy has the same nickname as that rapper,’” Jim said. “The cop, you know, looked at me and leaned over and was like, ‘This is him.’”

The paramedics also discovered a second patient.

“We got word from PD that there was another guy that was shot in the head,” Shane said. “They walked him over to the ambulance. He got in, and it ended up being Suge Knight who was grazed on the head.”

“He wanted us to make sure that we took care of Tupac before him,” Jim said.

With three Metro Police officers inside their ambulance and a police escort, not typical protocol, a ride to University Medical Center was followed by Jim telling Shane who their patient was.

“I listen to country music. I never heard of Tupac Shakur. So, it didn't register to me,” Shane said.

Soon after, news reports, vigils and more helped put it all into perspective.

“You were rooting for him to make it,” Jim said.

Six days later, Tupac Shakur died.

“It's sad and, you know, he had a lot going for him,” Jim said. “I'm sure he would still be making music today.”

The call, which they say lasted 14 minutes, is unforgettable for them, just like Tupac Shakur is to so many.

“We remember it like it was yesterday. We've run thousands and thousands of calls since that call, and we remember every detail of it like it was yesterday,” Jim said.

“Absolutely,” added Shane.

“You realize how much of an influence he really did have and how big of a deal it was. I guess I realize it more now than I did 20 years ago,” Jim said.

“Exactly,” Shane said.

Metro Police say the murder case is at a standstill. The I-Team has learned some people who may have been witnesses or somehow connected to the murder are deceased.

'Tupac is dead. I saw him lose consciousness and lose his life 20 years ago,' he said.
'I still find it astonishing that fans and people believe that Tupac is alive.


He was in fact just yards away as the BMW - driven by Knight - crashed into a divider at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard, and Harmon and Carroll were on the scene instantly.

Shakur had been shot four times and Knight had sped away from the scene, followed by other cars in his entourage.
'There were about five cars in the entourage and as they began getting out of the cars I knew these were not normal citizens,' he told DailyMail.com.

'So as they got out I had my gun drawn, so I told them all to get down and stay back. They all looked edgy, and I was concerned that may be a threat or could even just run away.
'But then in the BMW through the passenger window I saw a silhouette of a guy, who was not moving.
'My immediate concern was that he could be armed and perhaps wanting to attack me or was the shooter.
In the middle of this chaos was Suge, who you cannot miss, as he is this huge figure, very tall, wide and looking to come towards me.
'And to make matters even more concerning, blood was gushing out of his skull where he had been hit by a bullet.
'I told him to stay down and approached the passenger door, where Tupac was slumped, but moving slightly seemingly looking forward through the windscreen.
'I kept repeating for him to get out of the vehicle, but he didn't respond


'I told the others to get down and I walked up to the door - I reached out for it with my left hand and had my gun in my right in case he would shoot.

'There was barely any movement from Tupac and I could see multiple bullet holes in the window and side door.
'The door was tough to get open, perhaps where it had been damaged by bullets, but after several attempts I got the door open.
'Tupac just flopped out onto my left arm. as I hadn't realized he was leaning against the door.
'I then cushioned him down to the floor. Tupac was grimacing in pain, looking panicked and gasping for breathe.
'His torso was shot up pretty bad with blood pouring from his chest out through his shirt onto his gold chains. The blood loss was vast and it curdled around the chains, clinging to them.



'As he was fading, Suge kept shouting and screaming "Pac, Pac", and then in the corner of my eye I could see him come closer.
'I warned him to stay back.
'Instantly I realized that the victim was Tupac, gasping for air and then gurgling, most likely from the blood filling his throat and lungs.

'At that moment my gut instinct told me that he was in serious trouble. I thought about first aid, but his situation was beyond me saving him - the multiple gun wounds, blood loss and his rolling eyes meant only trauma specialists could save him.

'Tupac was losing his fight, but he kept looking at Suge, who was growing more frantic and screaming at him.
'At this stage I felt that he was unlikely to survive, so I attempted to take a dying declaration from him.
'I asked him "Who shot you? Who did this? What happened?" repeatedly.
'Tupac didn't even acknowledge that I was talking to him, as he was staring at Suge over my shoulder.

''Then he finally moved his line of sight from Suge, glared at me, mustered the energy to take as deep as breath as possible and said, 'F*** you.'
'His eyes rolled back, and then he started gargling and choking before he looked back at Suge.
'However that burst of energy proved too much, and his body physically quit, he went limp, his eyes closed half way, stopped breathing and he lost consciousness.'
Carroll says that is all the proof he needs that Tupac is dead.

'When he slipped out of consciousness in front of me, I knew he would never come back from those injuries,' he said.
'He was bleeding everywhere from multiple gun shot wounds to vital organs throughout his torso.
'As soon as the ambulance got there, he had already lost consciousness, he was intubated immediately and taken to the local trauma center. And for all practical purposes, he was really dead when he arrived there. We have one of the best Trauma team' in the States, if not the best, but they knew he was gone.

'Their team's skills was able to keep his heart beating and perform emergency surgery just to keep his heart going but he was basically gone.
'In my line of work I have seen many shooting cases like that and when I had Tupac in front of me I knew it his life was over.'

Cory Hardict interview.

On playing Haitian Jack for All Eyez On Me:

I had several conversations with Jack. I wanted to go to the source to portray a guy who’s still alive. You hear all the stories and people were saying different things about him, but I wanted to speak with the man himself, because that’s the only way I can portray him in the film – and it was very helpful. Like I said, he was a cool guy. I took what I took from him and he gave me his blessing. I added what I knew (as far as my acting style) to his voice pattern and personality. I would say this movie will probably be the biggest movie of the year and one of the biggest of the last ten years; it’s very emotional, it’s very heartfelt, it’s real. There are some amazing characters in the movie. It’s going to be great and I get to show the world what I can do on the big screen, so that’s a blessing. Benny Boom directed one hell of a movie.

On his favorite Tupac songs:

I love the Makaveli album, I love “Me Against The World,” that was probably one of my favorite songs…”Death Around The Corner,” I mean I just love Tupac.
