Las Vegas police have arrested a man in connection with the 1996 drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur, a long-awaited break in a case that has frustrated investigators and fascinated the public for 27 years.
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. 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 shooting.
The shooting occurred on September 7, 1996, when Shakur was shot four times in a drive-by shooting at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane in Las Vegas. He was taken to University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, where he died six days later.
The case has been a source of fascination for the public ever since, with many theories and speculation about who was responsible for the shooting. The Las Vegas Police Department has been investigating the case since 1996, but until now, no arrests have been made.
The arrest of Davis is a long-awaited break in the case, and it is hoped that it will lead to further progress in the investigation. It remains to be seen what charges Davis will face, and what further information the investigation will uncover.
