Shakur was critically wounded on Sept. 7, 1996, in a drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip and died from his injuries on Sept. 13, 1996, according to the newspaper.
He was 25, KSNV-TV reported.
Detectives served the search warrant at a home near Interstate 11 and Wagon Wheel Drive in Henderson, according to KLAS-TV.
“It has been a while” since the shooting, Johansson told reporters. “It’s a case that’s gone unsolved and hopefully one day we can change that.”
No arrests have been made, KLAS reported.
Shakur was nominated for six Grammy Awards and had five No. 1 albums, KSNV reported.
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017, and last month he received a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
