Ben Horowitz helped catch Tupac's murderer?
About this video
Sam recounts a personal anecdote about how a dinner conversation with Quincy Jones’s son led to reopening the Tupac murder investigation with Las Vegas Police, ultimately resulting in an arrest after the suspect confessed on a podcast interview.
Key takeaways
- Sam’s connection to Quincy Jones’s family provided access to law enforcement and case files that revealed investigative failures by LAPD
- A suspect’s confession on a podcast interview by DJ Vlad became key evidence, despite the suspect’s misunderstanding about immunity granted in LA rather than Vegas
- Persistence and unconventional approaches—like organizing a dinner between civilians and police—can sometimes reopen cold cases
