Orlando Anderson was an African American gang member who was suspected in the murder of Tupac Shakur. He was born on August 13, 1974, in Compton, California, and joined the Southside Compton Crips gang at some point in his youth. Anderson was shot and killed in an unrelated gang shootout at the age of 23 in 1998.

Regarding his involvement in the murder of Tupac Shakur, Anderson was initially not considered a suspect by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) . However, he was subsequently named a suspect, and rumors circulated that he had bragged about shooting the rapper, a claim he later denied in an interview for VIBE magazine. A witness of the 1996 Las Vegas shooting that killed Tupac Shakur recently claimed that long-suspected triggerman Orlando Anderson didn’t fire the fatal shots.

In summary, Orlando Anderson was shot and killed in an unrelated gang shootout in 1998, and his involvement in the murder of Tupac Shakur remains a subject of speculation and investigation.
