Amazing Tupac PHOTOMATCHED Shirt From On-Screen Death Scene - Filmed Just Weeks Prior to Actual Passing!

In his final film, Gang Related, Tupac Shakur took on what might have been his most drastic transformation on film and a potential sign of wight may have come. Shakur, alongside James Belushi, played Jake Rodriguez, a corrupt cop who unwittingly gunned down an undercover DEA agent. Tupac starred in numerous movies in his theater career, including Juice, Poetic Justice, and Above the Rim, although Gang Related was his final on-screen appearance. It was released a year after his tragic shooting death in 1996.

In what would become a true expression of art imitating life, Tupac's final moments on film culminated with him being shot and killed over a gambling debt with a bookie. In a sad set of circumstances, just weeks after filming his death scene in the film, Tupac would be gunned down in Las Vegas, though the circumstances behind his actual death remain an unsolved mystery.

Here we present the very dress shirt and undershirt worn by Tupac in his role as Rodriguez during the death scene in Gang Related. The dress shirt--a Stafford size 16 1/2, 32--shows an array of fake blood stains from the making of the scene. The accompanying white tank top shows wear but is minimally affected, as seen in the movie. Accompanying these shirts is an impressive and indisputable array of provenance, including a production polaroid showing Tupac wearing the shirts just prior to the filming of the scene, and a detailed letter from Resolution Photomatching which confirms through multiple matches that the dress shirt is indeed the exact shirt worn by Tupac in the film's death scene. An incredible piece of Tupac history, showcasing the final moments of what was a promising career as an actor.

Accompanied by full photomatch letter and documentation from Resolution Photomatching.
