Tupac Shakur Shooting: Prison Inmate Admits Role
Before rapper Tupac Shakur was murdered in 1996 in Las Vegas, he was shot five times -- and survived! -- at New York City's Quad Recording Studios on Nov. 30, 1994, by an unknown gunman. The shooting sparked a vicious East Coast-West Coast hip-hop feud, which resulted in Tupac's murder in 1996 and rival rapper Notorious B.I.G.'s murder in 1997. No arrests have ever been made, and neither murder has ever been solved. But now, a prison inmate named Dexter Isaac has come forward to tell AllHipHop.com that he was one of the men who ambushed Shakur in 1994.
Isaac, who is currently serving life in prison for an unrelated murder, says that he was paid $2,500 for the attempted hit by former music mogul James Rosemond (a.k.a. "Jimmy Henchman"). Henchman's lawyer Jeffrey Lichtman, of course, denies his client's involvement. "It's a flat out lie. Dexter Isaac is not claiming this 17 years later to clear his conscience," Lichtman tells the N.Y. Daily News. "He's doing it because he's told anybody who will listen he doesn't want to die in prison. He has kids and wants to work off his sentence. He can't be trusted."
Isaac and Henchman were friends and business partners back in the '80s and '90s, with Isaac helping Henchman create his first company, Henchman Entertainment, in 1989. The friendship has obviously gone sour, and Henchman recently claimed that Isaac was helping the government build a narcotics case against him. Isaac is reportedly furious at being called a "rat," which is one of the reasons he decided to come forward with news of his involvement.
"I want to apologize to (Shakur's) family and for the mistake I did for that sucker (Jimmy Henchman)," Isaac says. "I am trying to clean it up to give (Tupac and B.I.G.'s) mothers some closure."
The 1994 shooting at Quad Studios put Shakur in the hospital with five gunshot wounds. Shakur accused Notorious B.I.G. of involvement, and B.I.G. retaliated in song. The war of words raged for a while until Shakur was murdered on the street in Las Vegas, and B.I.G. was killed a year later.
On Thursday, a New York Police Department spokesperson told the Associated Press that it will be investigating Isaac's claim to see if there is any truth in it.

After Facebook 'Diary,' Thomas Ohlson Opens Up About ALS
'If we devoted ourselves to preserving life rather than our bank accounts, we would all be richer for it,' he tells MTV News.

We first met Thomas Ohlson during MTV's "Diary of Facebook," a 30-minute documentary that delved into the social-networking site's effort to highlight users' life-changing stories.
In 2005, Ohlson was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a devastating disease that causes motor neurons to die, leading muscles to waste away while cognitive abilities remain unaffected. Confined to a wheelchair, unable to talk and despairing that his life no longer had purpose, he ended up creating a Facebook account and, in turn, new reasons to keep fighting. Though he can only type with two fingers, Ohlson has become an articulate ALS activist, sharing his experiences and becoming a public face of his disease.
His courage in the face of unimaginable suffering was so affecting that we decided to visit Ohlson and his family at home for further insight into their remarkable situation. "I spend a lot of time thinking about how wonderful my life was only five short years ago — the dreams I had for myself and my family," Ohlson told us. "Now, all gone. I have no real future and have impacted my family in ways that cause me great sorrow. ... I want my family to remember me as the strong and proud father and husband I once was, not the disfigured and helpless creature that I have become. ALS is not only killing me, it is taking my loved ones with me — killing any semblance of a normal existence for them."
The brutal truth is that, not only is there no cure for ALS, there is not even a single treatment for it. "I feel like this is a bad joke," he said. "How can almost every disease have some kind of treatment, but ALS have none?" When his young daughter found out her father could no longer speak, she cried for three days. Then she typed him a message on the computer he uses to communicate. "You can teach me things by putting things on the screen and you will always love me, so that's OK with me," she wrote. "So that's all I need to have a good daddy just like you."
"I had an epiphany," Ohlson said of that exchange. "Nobody wanted to see me die. And I realized in that moment I did not want to leave them."
Ohlson now hopes being open about his suffering will spur action, involvement and understanding about the disease. The key to surviving ALS, he explained, is remaining an active participant in life. Social-networking sites like Facebook, then, have been invaluable tools, allowing him virtually to step outside his confines and connect with the world around him. Anyone who wants further information or is interested in joining the fight can visit ALS Therapy Development Institute. "In a world where we can split the atom, send people into space and create life, no one should have to suffer," he said. "If we devoted ourselves to preserving life rather than our bank accounts, we would all be richer for it."
At the same time that he suffers, Ohlson admits his affliction has given him a deeper understanding of what it means to be truly happy. "Stop always looking to the future for happiness and appreciate what you have right now," he said. "Life is a gift to be both enjoyed and cherished. Enjoy every second, every minute and every day. Cherish your health and recognize how precarious it is. ... And always remember: Success is not measured by the possessions you surround yourself with; rather it is measured by the people who choose to surround you."
