已故说唱歌手图派克·夏库尔的家人在洛杉矶提起非正常死亡诉讼，要求对1996年该艺人遇害事件给予未明确数额的赔偿。

He has pleaded not guilty. The new lawsuit alleges there was a "complex conspiracy" to murder the star, and says its aim is to uncover the identity of the "individuals who were involved" through discovery.

他已表示不认罪。新的诉讼称存在一个“复杂的阴谋”来谋杀这位明星，并表示其目的是通过调查来揭露“涉案人员”的身份。
