Las Vegas has arrested an individual, identified as Duane Keith Davis, also known as “Keffe D, related to the 1996 murder of iconic rapper Tupac Shakur.
.
Tupac Shakur was fatally shot while leaving a boxing match on the Las Vegas Strip in 1996. The murder has been the subject of conspiracy theories and a long-running investigation.
Davis had previously placed himself at the scene of the crime, claiming he was in the front seat of the car that pulled up alongside Shakur’s car when the shots were fired from the backseat, killing the rapper.
In July, the police searched Davis’s wife’s home, they confiscated a copy of Davis’s memoir, in which he detailed street gang life and Shakur’s murder.
Davis described himself as one of only two living witnesses to the shooting, the other being Marion ‘Suge’ Knight, the former CEO of Death Row Records, who is serving time in prison for manslaughter in an unrelated case.
Duane “Keffe D” Davis has now been indicted on a murder charge with the use of a deadly weapon.
He is the uncle of Orlando Anderson, one of Tupac’s known rivals and a suspect in the rapper’s death, who denied involvement at the time and later died in an unrelated gang shooting.
The investigation into Tupac Shakur’s murder had previously stalled due to witnesses’ refusal to cooperate.
This arrest marks a significant development in a case that has fascinated the public for decades.
Tupac Shakur, known by his stage name 2Pac, was one of the most influential rappers of all time. He was nominated for a Grammy Award six times and sold over 75 million records worldwide. His music, including hits like “California Love” and “Changes,” continues to have a profound impact on the hip-hop genre.
Tupac received a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame earlier this year, and his murder has been the subject of numerous documentaries and investigations.
