And they find him because there are so many groupies and fans who are following the car being driven by Suge Knight with Tupac hanging out the window. They find him. They see him. So according to Keefy D, car that he's in with Orlando in the backseat, pulls up alongside the car and shots ring out. prosecutors ultimately charge that because he was the quote-unquote shot caller, he called the shot.
