Is Reggie Wright hiding something?Johnny Firecloud, CraveOnline
Since its release last October, the new documentary DVD Tupac: Assassination - Conspiracy or Revenge? has brought to light an assortment of unanswered questions surrounding the murder of Tupac Shakur. The film directly implies that Death Row head of security Reggie Wright was involved in Tupac's death, and the filmmakers hope the film will provide enough momentum to garner support for a Grand Jury investigation into the murder. Wright, a former Compton police officer, began Wrightway Security, the agency paid to protect Shakur the day he was gunned down on the Las Vegas strip in September of 1996. He has repeatedly denied any involvement in the murder.
"The whole point of the DVD was to raise one theory based on information that the police had not collected. If that leads to Reggie, then we were right," says the film's director R. J. Bond. "If that leads elsewhere, then it leads elsewhere. The police have new avenues to explore, new witnesses to speak with - something to do. That brings us one step closer to closure in the case. And in my mind that is what every true Pac fan wants."
Bond was right. The film has motivated Los Angeles and Las Vegas police to re-focus their attentions on the unsolved murder of the legendary rapper. Last week, LAPD detectives contacted former Tupac bodyguards Kevin Hackie and Frank Alexander. Hackie, who previously announced that he was an undercover FBI Agent at a screening of the film last October, has offered $100,000 to Reggie Wright if he is able to pass a lie detector test denying any role in Tupac's murder.
Wright has accepted the challenge, but says he's waiting on Hackie to deliver. “The day Kevin Hackie puts up the money to pay for a reputable board-licensed polygrapher to conduct a lie detector test for him and I, people will find out who the liar is,” Wright told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “I had nothing to do with Pac's death.” In the film, Bond interviews several members of the security detail who were present on the day of the murder, many of whom had never been interviewed before.
