Tupac Shakur, a 34-year-old Miami woman, was detained after being caught on surveillance camera hitting a man with a baseball bat. She shares the same name as the renowned California rapper, which is kind of bizarre.
Shakur was detained on Tuesday, according to WLPG, after it was reported that she allegedly attacked an elderly man who was sitting outside a hospital. The lady allegedly attacked the man “several times” outside Hialeah Hospital around noon, according to the arrest statement.
After the assault, the victim rushed into the hospital carrying the woman’s bat, and she reportedly accused the victim of hitting her. He told police that he knew Shakur from prior incidents at the hospital and that she usually slept close to Hialeah as an unhoused person. The man declined medical attention for his wounds. After the attack was captured on CCTV, the woman was identified.
In her statement to the police, she stated that she was “Investigating an incident that occurred at the library in downtown.” She is currently charged with aggravated battery on a person age 65 or older, a first-degree felony.
Even though she is not the deceased rapper who passed away in 1996 after being shot in Las Vegas, the timing of her attack on the elderly man is strange. Although 2Pac passed away six days later, Wednesday was the 26th anniversary of his shooting.
It is unknown why the woman attacked the victim, and it is also mysterious why she appears to be named after the renowned west-coast rapper. Stay tuned to Thirsty for further updates.
