The gangster has been openly bragging about his involvement in the murder of the rap icon in both a book and various interviews since 2018.
A man has been charged by Las Vegas police for the 1996 drive-by shooting that resulted in the death of the rapper Tupac Shakur, nearly three decades after the incident. Duane «Keffe D» Davis was arrested by Las Vegas police on Friday and is currently facing a murder charge involving the use of a deadly weapon.
The New York hip-hop icon was shot four times at the age of 25 in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas. On Friday, a grand jury in Nevada charged Davis, 60, with one count of murder with a deadly weapon. According to the police, Davis planned the fatal shooting after his nephew had a confrontation with Shakur at a casino.
Arrested after Years of Delay
News broke on Friday that Las Vegas police had arrested Duane Davis, also known as Keefe D or Keffe D, who has time and again claimed to have been in the vehicle from which the shots were fired at the rapper, resulting in his death.
The gangster has been openly bragging about his involvement in the murder of the rap icon in both a book and various interviews since 2018.
Davis has recounted multiple times the details of being present in the car when his nephew, Orlando Anderson, carried out the fatal shooting of Tupac on September 7, 1996, along the Las Vegas strip.
Anderson, a member of the South Side Compton Crips gang, was killed at the age of 23 in 1998 in another gang-related shooting.
A Nevada grand jury indicted Davis for the murder, with Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo characterizing Davis as the «on-ground, on-site commander» and «shot caller» who issued the directive for Shakur’s death, rather than being a mere bystander.
