Oakland on Friday will show a little love for the late, legendary hip hop artist and rapper Tupac Shakur – a section of McArthur Boulevard will be renamed in his honor. But his Bay Area ties stretch back to his parents, who were active in the Black Panther Party and his early life in Marin City, California. And he lived in East Oakland after moving here in the late 1980s. His former home near Lake Merritt on MacArthur between.Grand Avenue and Van Buren Avenue will now be called Tupac Shakur Way.
The idea for the street came from Oakland City Councilwoman Carroll Fife, who wanted to ensure the Shakur legacy lives on and "that we build a world where roses no longer have to grow through concrete because we’ve broken down those obstacles and softened the ground for all beauty to bloom with ease.
But this fall, a grand jury in Nevada indicted Duane "Keffe D" Davis, 60, as being the ringleader behind Shakur's killing. He was charged with murder and using a deadly weapon. Shakur was being driven by the former CEO of Death Row Records, Marion "Suge" Knight. Both Shakur and Knight were shot,Davis himself has admitted in interviews and in his 2019 tell-all memoir, "Compton Street Legend," that he provided the gun used in the drive-by shooting.
