Social media lit up with chatter about possible suspects and motives — touching on an East vs. West coast hip hop beef and gang rivalry that has been previously cited by police.
A Las Vegas-area police raid linked to the shooting death of Tupac Shakur sparked renewed interest and theories — pointing to a long-running suspect — in the unsolved 1996 murder of the legendary rapper Thursday.
Chatter about possible culprits and motives, including an East Coast vs. West Coast hip-hop beef and gang rivalry that has been previously cited by police lit up social media.
“Orlando Baby Lane Anderson shot Tupac, this case is closed according to the streets,” one fan tweeted.
“Tupac involved himself in some Compton gang beef that he had no business involving himself with…He jumped [suspect] Baby Lane at the Tyson [boxing] fight over some gang stuff that happened in LA,” another observer declared.
On Monday, cops seized copies of a book by South Side Compton Crips gang member Duane Keith Davis, 60 — aka Keffe D — the uncle of Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, who police once named as the prime suspect in Shakur’s murder.
Cops also seized hard drives and photos of possible suspects at the reported home of Davis’ wife Paula Clemons in Henderson, Nevada, during the raid, officials said.
