Las Vegas police provided an update on Friday after they 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.
Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill said that a Nevada grand jury indicted Duane “Keefe D” Davis in the killing, while District Attorney Steven Wolfson also added that Davis has been indicted with one count of open murder with use of a deadly weapon and that he will appear in court in the coming days for a hearing to determine his custody status and to set a jury trial date.
“Tupac Shakur is a music legend and for a long time, this community worldwide has been wanting justice for Tupac. Today we are taking that first step. Tupac was quoted as saying, ‘Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive. Never surrender.’ Well, we didn't surrender,” Wolfson said.
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.
