Las Vegan Police Arrests The Suspect Of Tupac Shakur’s Murder
According to the sources of the Associated Press, Las Vegas Police arrested a man tied to the shooter who is suspected of killing Tupac Shakur in the 1996 drive-by shooting. So finally there’s a three-decade-long-awaited break in the case.
On Friday morning, Duane “Keffe D” Davis was arrested, however, the charges were not immediately clear according to the sources from inside the police station. This arrest was the result after the Las Vegas police raided Davis’ wife’s home on July 17. According to the official documents, the police searched the place for items relating to the murder of Tupac Shakur. The police collected numerous pieces of evidence like “a Vibe magazine that featured Shakur, two tubs containing photographs and a copy of Davis’ 2019 tell-all memoir, Compton Street Legends, multiple computers, a hard drive, and 40-caliber bullets.”
In 2010, Davis opened up about Tupac’s killing during a closed-door meeting with federal and local authorities while he was in prison for drug charges. In his book, he quoted “They promised they would shred the indictment and stop the grand jury if I helped them out”, and labeled himself as one of the last living witnesses to the shooting.
