Man arrested in connection with Tupac Shakur killing: Here’s what you may want to know
Tupac Shakur.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department executed a new search warrant in July, reopening the investigation near the Las Vegas Strip where Shakur was killed 30 years ago.
Duane “Keffe D” Davis was apprehended early on a Friday morning. The exact charges were not specified. Davis has previously claimed to be a witness to the crime but has never disclosed names.
In his 2019 memoir, "Compton Street Legend," Davis alleged he was in the car involved in targeting Shakur, who was 25 years old when he was killed.
The arrest followed a police raid on Davis’ wife’s Henderson home on July 17. Details were limited, but police seized computers, a cellphone, a hard drive, a Vibe magazine featuring Shakur, bullets, photos, and a copy of «Compton Street Legend.»
Federal authorities in Las Vegas and Los Angeles have previously investigated Shakur’s death, but no arrests have been made. Nevada has no statute of limitations for homicide cases, and the investigation into Shakur’s death has been ongoing for nearly three decades, with periods of inactivity.
