Watch: Police update on arrest made in 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur



Las Vegas police have arrested a man in the deadly 1996 drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur, a long-awaited break in a case that has frustrated investigators and fascinated the public ever since the hip-hop icon was gunned down on the Las Vegas Strip 27 years ago.

Duane “Keffe D” Davis was arrested early Friday morning, although the exact charge or charges were not immediately clear, according to two officials with first-hand knowledge of the arrest. They were not authorized to speak publicly ahead of an expected indictment later Friday.

Davis has long been known to investigators and has himself admitted in interviews and in his 2019 tell-all memoir, “Compton Street Legend,” that he was in the Cadillac where the gunfire erupted during the September 1996 drive-by shooting. Shakur was 25 when he was gunned down.

  1. Now they need to Figure out the Murder of Biggie Smalls. Rest in Peace Kings.

  2. It’s kind of ridiculous how they’re gloating and quoteing PAC. You literally had to have dude write a book admitting his involvement before you took action? Don’t disrespect the man by quoting his words he hated the police and he’d probably not even have wanted you to prosecute anybody behind his death. RIP pac

  3. Black on black crime still going strong 27 years later a d the media, sports world etc….just continue to ignore it

  4. They sat on this info too long

  5. First of all, why did it take this long to obtain an arrest warrant.
    However if they have the right person, it still won't bring back Tupac.
    Whoever the culprit is the bottom line is we lost a great Artist, and a political revolutionary human being.

  6. Rest în Peace 2pac 😢!

  7. Rip Pac…. But the streets knew for 27 yrs that KEEFE D killed Pac 😢😢😢

  8. BULLSHIT UNTIL P. DIDDY IS ARRESTED AND CHARGED !!!!!! WE ALL WANT TO SEE P DIDDY GETTING LIFE !!! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  9. The prince hall freemasons help Tupac to fake his own death. Tupac is still alive. He had to fake his own death to avoid going to prison.

  10. TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH… SINCE THEN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TELLING L.A. POLICE AND L.V. METRO POLICE BUT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.. EVERYONE IN LAS VEGAS STREETS HAVE KNOWN ABOUT WHO KILLED TUPAC AND BIGGIE.. WE KNEW ABOUT PUFFY PAYING KEEFE D AND REGGIE RIGHT JR. FOR BOTH MURDERS.. IN THE STREETS IT WAS NO A MYSTERY… YOU NEED TO ARREST PUFFY SEAN COMBS TOO. IF YOU ARREST HIM HE WILL KNOW WHY.. HE WON'T EVEN PUT UP A FIGHT..

  11. 0:08 he said that like he really cared

  12. This is really great, but Puffy gotta go down as well before I'm satisfied

  13. Maybe they should investigate another old case. The one I speak of is Conor McGregor being a rapist!

  14. You can't convict. He's black.

  15. Suge Knight knew who shot 2 Pac 27 years ago

  16. They never cared because they could of arrested all 4 of them in 1996

  17. I wonder what Mike Tyson thinks about this.

  18. In my Zulu language we say ningababulali abantu ngoba igazi labafileyo liyokhuluma lisemathuneni. I hope Pac will finally rest in peace. That day is still fresh in my memory. What a sad day it was!!!!

  19. I’m sorry but I’m still cling on to to theory Tupac is still alive . I think I saw him in traffic yesterday 😊
