BREAKING: Suspect involved in Tupac’s killing arrested by police
Police in Las Vegas, United States of America, have arrested a man suspected to be involved with the 1996 drive-by shooting that claimed the life of rapper Tupac Shakur, The Associated Press reported Friday, citing unidentified sources.
Duane “Keffe D” Davis was taken into custody Friday on suspicion of murder, according to the AP. An indictment is expected to be announced later in the day.
The arrest came after authorities searched a home in Henderson, Nevada, owned by Davis’ wife over the summer in connection with the shooting, a warrant obtained by CNN revealed.
Authorities seized several tablets, an iPhone, five computers, photographs and a copy of Davis’ 2019 memoir, “Compton Street Legend,” among other things, CNN and the AP reported.
In interviews and “Compton Street Legend,” Davis said he was in the Cadillac where shots were fired in September 1996. He described himself as “one of the last living witnesses to the shooting,” according to the AP.
A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told ABC News that magazine articles about Shakur and his death were among the items seized by police as part of the ongoing homicide investigation.
Shakur was shot four times on Sept. 7, 1996, near the Las Vegas Strip. He died days later at the age of 25.
