Sources told ABC News the search was conducted at a home around 10 p.m., with officers using bullhorns and lights.
Detectives were said to be looking for computers, laptops and articles about Tupac’s death. The items collected will be presented to a Las Vegas grand jury.
Tupac was shot multiple times on the Las Vegas Strip on Sept. 7, 1996. He was in the car with former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight when another vehicle pulled up beside them and opened fire. Tupac died from his injuries several days later at age 25.
The rapper was born in Harlem in 1971, and later called Los Angeles home.
During his lifetime, he released four studio albums, with more music debuting after his death.
