There’s an entire community of conspiracy theorists that believe Tupac Shakur still walks among us.

The latest supposed sighting, however, comes from an unlikely source.

The image-based site 9gag claimed to have found a character that closes resembles the late West Coast rapper—who was murdered in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, Nev., in September 1996—on Grove Street, a rough neighborhood in Grand Theft Auto V.

The resemblance is rather uncanny. The avatar boasts a white wifebeater, tied bandana, and comparable arm tattoos. The only thing that’s missing is a nose ring and perhaps his trademark “Thug Life” tat across his torso.
