A series of follow-up tweets reported that the Sheriff’s Coroners Office will lead the investigation to determine the “exact cause & manner of Afeni Shakur’s death.” Shakur Davis died at her northern California home on Monday night after the Sheriff’s office responded to a report of a possible cardiac arrest at her residence around 9:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Shakur (born Alice Faye Williams) was born in Lumberton, North Carolina<\/a>, on January 10, 1947, and was known as a political activist and former member of the Black Panther party<\/a>. In April 1969, she and a number of other Black Panthers were arrested and charged with several counts of conspiracy to bomb police stations and other public places in New York<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nShe was pregnant during her trial on the charges and gave birth to son Tupac Amaru Shakur<\/a> on June 16, 1971. After struggling for a period in the 1980s with a drug problem that lead to an estrangement from the budding rapper, Afeni got clean in the early 1990s and reconciled with Tupac, who chronicled her struggles in his song “Dear Mama<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nAfter Tupac was killed in a still-unsolved drive-by shooting in 1996, Afeni became an executor of his estate, founding Amaru Entertainment<\/a> to release her son’s posthumous albums and the Tupac Amaru Foundation for the Arts charity, which helps young people get involved in the arts. She was also instrumental in helping to bring the musical Holler If Ya Hear Me<\/a> to Broadway in 2014.<\/p>\n
