Shakur was wounded in a drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip on Sept. 7, 1996.
In July, police said they had searched a house outside Las Vegas in connection with Shakur's killing.
Marion "Suge" Knight, co-founder of Los Angeles-based Death Row Records who produced Shakur's records, was driving the BMW.
