Bill is floated to compile Shakur records

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., is calling for the immediate disclosure of all government documents on slain rapper Tupac Shakur.

A bill being floated in Congress by McKinney wants all government records "relevant to the life and death of Tupac Amaru Shakur" to be compiled and stored at the National Archives, New York Newsday reports.

Shakur, one of the original gangsta rappers, was gunned down in Los Angeles in 1996. His slaying has never been solved.

"His family and his family of fans have the right to know what happened on that fateful night," McKinney said in a statement. "The public has the right to know because he was a well-known figure. There is intense public interest in the life and death of Tupac Shakur."
