A LAS VEGAS man was arrested Friday in connection to the fatal drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur in 1996. Duane “Keffe D” Davis was arrested Friday morning, The Associated Press reports, citing two officials with firsthand information. The charges were not immediately clear.
Back in July, Las Vegas police revealed that they had searched Davis’ home in connection with the investigation of Shakur’s murder. Though the police said the warrant was “part of the ongoing Tupac Shakur homicide investigation,” they declined to offer any further details at the time.
According to a warrant obtained by NBC at the time, authorities searched Davis’ home, specifically looking at desktops and other electronic storage devices, including thumb drives, CDs, external hard drives, and audio recordings. The warrant reportedly uncovered a Pokeball USB drive, a black iPhone, two iPads, and a purple Toshiba laptop, among other items.
The search warrant served in Henderson, Nevada, was arguably the biggest development in the unsolved homicide in years. Though numerous investigations, books, and pretty wild conspiracy theories have sprouted up over the years, the LVMPD appeared to make little public progress in solving the case.
ne of the last times the case garnered a public statement from the LVMPD was in 2018 after Davis, a former gang member, claimed on an episode of BET’s Death Row Chronicles that he knew who killed Shakur. Davis didn’t reveal any names; he also did not deny that Orlando Anderson — his late nephew — could have been the killer. He later wrote about it in his 2019 tell-all memoir, Compton Street Legend. Now, Davis is the suspect arrested.
