The case remained cold for decades, before an apparent break over the summer. Police conducted a nighttime search of a Las Vegas-area home in July in connection with the Tupac murder investigation.
The suspect was taken into custody without incident early Friday morning while on a walk near his home where the search occurred, the official said.
