There is worldwide interest in a car tied to an infamous Las Vegas murder. The car Tupac Shakur was riding in when he was shot and killed in Las Vegas nearly 22 years ago is expected to fetch a price of $1.5 million.

Most people remember seeing the vehicle Shakur was riding in on Sept. 7, 1996, riddled with bullets just two hours after the rapper was involved a fight in the lobby of the MGM Grand. Shakur was in town for a Mike Tyson fight. Now the car is in the showroom at Celebrity Cars on Dean Martin Drive.

And it is Shakur's notoriety in life and death that makes what would normally be an eight or 10 thousand dollar car worth more than a million dollars. It was first leased by Death Row Records head Suge Knight, who was also a part of the melee at the MGM.

Las Vegas police impounded the car shortly after the shooting and later auctioned off. It has had a few owners before it was fully restored and Celebrity Cars obtained it from a collector. It is the first time the public has seen the car in years.

Hamilton said the car might have been worth even more money if it still had the bullet holes. Interestingly enough, Hamilton said BMW made a slightly more expensive bullet proof model of the car that was available back then.

Homicide detectives in Las Vegas have kept the forensic evidence from the Shakur murder including bullets and clothing, in secure storage for 26 years, with full laboratory analysis of shells, bullets and gunpowder from the murder scene.

The .40 Glock that was used in the Tupac murder was never recovered, however, Keefe D has openly admitted on several occasions that he handed the gun to his nephew Orlando Anderson that he used to shoot Tupac on September 7, 1996.

No charges have been filed, but the LVMPD is hopeful that the evidence they present to a grand jury and search warrants that will be served in the next few weeks will lead them to an arrest or an indictment.

Tupac memorabilia continues to surface through dealers and auction houses, with the rapper's gold and diamond crown pendant recently listed by Moments In Time for a whopping $125,000, TMZ reports. The medallion is of particular note because it was dented by a bullet during a 1994 shooting in New York City as Pac was wearing it.

While Moments in Time owner Gary Zimet says that Pac's family gave them the piece to sell, a majority of the profits going back to them, Tupac's estate tells the celebrity news site that they are in strong opposition to the sale. As they put it, nobody, not even family members, has authority to sell any Tupac item, with a potential lawsuit awaiting whoever does.

Pac fans with deep pockets could make the pendant, pictured above, or any number of one of a kind Pac items theirs for the right price. Based on the recent uptick in items cropping up, it seems safe to guess that more are coming.

A Las Vegas-area home was searched last month in connection with the Tupac Shakur murder case, an effort hailed as a "success" though detectives doubt any of the belongings retrieved "could present a direct link," RadarOnline.com has learned.

Las Vegas SWAT members descended on the property of Duane Keith Davis, AKA "Keffe D" of "Keefy D" during the evening hours of July 17. Police lights flashed and dogs were heard barking in 13 hours of newly released bodycam footage.

"LVMPD can confirm a search warrant was served in Henderson as part of the ongoing Tupac Shakur homicide investigation," the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department previously told RadarOnline.com in a statement.

The search warrant listed a copy of Vibe magazine on Tupac as well as a copy of Davis' book, Compton Street Legend. Keffe D spilled details about the night Shakur was gunned down because he believed he could never be charged for his involvement, RadarOnline.com was told.

The other witness would be Suge Knight, who was driving Tupac in a black BMW that fateful evening, and is currently serving a 28-year jail sentence for a fatal hit-and-run. "I don't get paid to solve homicides," he said when asked about who shot the late music legend.

They were stopped at a red light a block from the Strip when the Cadillac pulled up next to them and shots were fired. Knight was grazed in the head by a bullet fragment or shrapnel from the car. Shakur was hit multiple times and died days later. He was 25.
