The Last Photo of Tupac and the Man Who Took It | Los Angeles News
Description
The man who captured Tupac’s last known photo is set to testify in the murder trial that could finally reveal what happened on that fateful night. Leonard Jefferson, who snapped the iconic image moments before Tupac was shot near Las Vegas, now holds the camera that immortalized a moment that changed music history. What began as a chance encounter at a red light turned into a haunting snapshot—Tupac looking directly into the lens—followed by gunfire and chaos. Six days later, Tupac died. Now, with a short film in development, Jefferson’s story—the man behind the shutter—is poised to be told for the first time, offering a raw, untold perspective on one of the most pivotal—and tragic—moments in hip-hop history.
