Shakur was shot four times on September 7, 1996 while in a car driven by Death Row Records’ Suge Knight, and died in hospital six days later at the age of 25.
No arrests have ever been made in the case.
No additional information regarding who owned the house or what led Las Vegas police to conduct the search was given.
In a press release on Tuesday, the department said it “can confirm a search warrant was served in Henderson, Nevada on July 17, 2023, as part of the ongoing Tupac Shakur homicide investigation”.
The department, whose jurisdiction includes the suburb of Henderson where the search was conducted, declined to provide further comment.
The award-winning rapper, activist and actor was posthumously honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in June, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide.
