November 1994 shooting
On the night of November 30, 1994, the day before the verdict in his sexual abuse trial was to be announced, Shakur was shot five times and robbed after entering the lobby of Quad Recording Studios in Manhattan by two armed men in army fatigues He would later accuse Sean Combs,[40] Andre Harrell, and Biggie Smalls-whom he saw after the shooting-of setting him up Shakur also suspected his close friend and associate, Randy "Stretch" Walker, of being involved in the attempt According to the doctors at Bellevue Hospital, where he was admitted immediately following the incident, Shakur had received five bullet wounds; twice in the head, twice in the groin and once through the arm and thigh He checked out of the hospital, against doctor's orders, three hours after surgery In the day that followed, Shakur entered the courthouse in a wheelchair and was found guilty of three counts of molestation, but innocent of six others, including sodomy On February 6, 1995, he was sentenced to one-and-a-half to four-and-a-half years in prison on a sexual assault charge[41]
A year later on November 30, 1995, Stretch was killed after being shot twice in the back by three men who pulled up alongside his green minivan at 112th Ave and 209th St in Queens Village, while he was driving His minivan smashed into a tree and hit a parked car before flipping over[42]
On March 27, 2008, the LA Times issued an apology to Combs for blaming him for having a role in the November 1994 shooting The article stated that Shakur was led to the studio by Biggie's associates to gun him down to make favor with Biggie The newspaper relied on forged documents that The Smoking Gun proved to be faked[43] Combs stated that he is disgusted with the LA Times for printing the story[44][45][46][47]
