Afeni Shakur, the mother of music icon Tupac Shakur, has passed away.

PEOPLE reports that the Marin County Sheriff's Office responded to a call of a possible cardiac arrest at a Sausalto, California home on Monday night, May 2. Afeni was taken to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead at around 10:28 p.m. She was 69-years old.

A year after 2Pac's 1996 death, Afeni, founded The Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts, a performing arts center for the youth based in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

The former Black Panther Party member also founded Amaru Entertainment, a record and film production company that oversaw the posthumous releases of her son's music and recently signed off on the upcoming biopic, "All Eyez on Me."

2Pac dedicated the 1995 song "Dear Mama" to Afeni.

Afeni was preparing to face off in a North Carolina divorce court with her husband of 12 years, Gust Davis. 

Davis is seeking half of the income Afeni received from Tupac's estate for life, in addition to a Jaguar, the rights to live in the soon-to-be ex-couple's 50 acre North Carolina ranch and the keys to their houseboats.

The couple didn't have a prenup.
