One of the men believed to be riding in the white Cadillac that opened fire on 2Pac and Suge Knight back in 1996 has been sentenced to ten years in federal prison, however it's not over his suspected involvement in 2Pac's murder. Darnell Brim, a reported gang leader who was one of the four gang members riding in the car that pulled up on Pac and Suge, was initially arrested during a sting operation in 2013. As TMZ reports, he has pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine and distribution of crack.

While 2Pac's murder was never solved, the LAPD and investigators believed that Brim was with the individual who fatally shot the legendary rapper on Sept. 7, 1996. After being taken to a local hospital, Pac died from internal bleeding on Sept. 13. Brim, who is a notorious South Side Compton Crips member, was never charged in connection with murdering Pac, but he was hit during a drive-by shooting two days after his alleged involvement.

Similarly, one of the other men believed to have been present in the Cadillac, Orlando Anderson, was never charged in connection with Pac's murder. Anderson was a prime suspect in the case until he died in 1998 following a gang-related shootout. Duane Davis was another individual connected to Cadillac, and he confessed last year that he had a role in the killing of Pac.
