Where Tupac was Shot

Not much to see; it's more about knowing what happened right where you're standing. Not a lot of parking, but not a bad walk.

[Steve Braun, 04/19/2023]

The Tupac assassination spot has become the site of a DIY memorial, with messages still left by fans, even though it happened over a quarter-century ago.
