In his first court appearance on Oct. 4 for the Tupac murder case, Duane “Keefe D” Davis faced a setback when his lawyer failed to show up, leading to a two-week delay in his arraignment.
The court appearance marked a significant moment for Davis, who is charged with one count of murder with the use of a deadly weapon, along with a gang enhancement. However, due to the absence of his attorney, the legal proceedings could not move forward for the time being.
Meanwhile, filmmaker Nick Broomfield, known for his documentary Tupac & Biggie, shared his perspective on the arrest of Keefe D in a recent Rolling Stone interview.
Broomfield highlighted an interview with retired Los Angeles police detective Greg Kading, who had previously interviewed Davis over a drug dealing charge. Kading struck a deal with Davis, reducing his drug sentence in exchange for an open confession about Tupac’s killing. Broomfield also added:
“He got Keefe D on tape, admitting to being in the car and supplying the murder weapon to his nephew, Orlando Anderson, who carried out the shooting.”
Broomfield also hypothesized the reason it took so long to charge Keefe D:
“Maybe the reason it took so long for them to actually charge Keefe D was because the next question would always be, ‘Who killed Christopher Wallace?’” referring to Biggie’s real name.
Moreover, new information has emerged about the events leading up to Tupac’s murder. A brawl between Keefe D’s affiliated gang, the Compton South Side Crips, and the Death-Row affiliated Mob Piru Bloods occurred at a Southern California mall shortly before the night of the fatal shooting.
Notably, a brawl also occurred on the night of Tupac’s shooting. Orlando Anderson, a member of the Crips, was seeking revenge after being jumped in an MGM hotel elevator by the same group.
Anderson, Keefe D, and two other individuals named Terrance Brown and Deandrae Smith were in a white Cadillac on the night of the shooting.
Denvonta Lee, an affiliate of the Compton South Side Crips, testified to a grand jury that Smith, not Anderson, fired the shots that killed Tupac. The reason behind the decision was Smith having a clearer shot.
Keefe D is the only surviving individual involved in the incident. In his memoir, Compton Street Legend, Keefe D claimed that Anderson had fired the fatal shots, but Smith wanted Anderson to have the glory.
The word around Compton at the time was that Anderson sought retribution for the beating he endured at the MGM Hotel. Since his recent court appearance, Keefe D has remained tight-lipped about any further details regarding the shooting.

Tupac Shakur’s untimely death in 1996 has remained a mystery for over two decades. However, shortly after Keefe D was detained, new security camera angles from his final moments at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas emerged, shedding light on the events leading up to his tragic demise. Furthermore, Suge Knight has confirmed that he refuses to testify against Keefe D in the upcoming murder trial.
New footage angles from Tupac’s final moments have been recently revealed. The footage, obtained on Oct. 3, captures Tupac, accompanied by Suge Knight and other Death Row Records members, storming through the casino after a confrontation with Orlando Anderson.
In a surprising turn of events, Suge Knight has recently refused to cooperate and testify regarding the incident, leaving many wondering about the truth behind Tupac’s murder.
These new camera angles provide a closer look at the events leading up to the fateful encounter, offering a fresh perspective on the incident that has long puzzled investigators.
In addition to the security footage, KLAS-TV has obtained never-before-seen photos of the late rap legend’s infamous BMW, which has been listed for sale at a staggering price of nearly $2 million.
These photos include interior shots of the vehicle, allowing us to visualize the space Tupac occupied during that fatal night. The exterior close-ups display the brutal aftermath of the shooting, further emphasizing the tragedy of his untimely death.
Amidst these new developments, one key figure remains silent. Keefe D, who was taken into custody by Las Vegas detectives on Sept. 29, and charged with murder with the use of a deadly weapon, has claimed not to be the triggerman. However, he admitted to handing off the gun to someone else.
Authorities in Clark County assert that even those who aid and abet in a murder can be charged with the crime, raising questions about Keefe D’s culpability in Tupac’s death.
The only other living witness to the events of that fateful night is Suge Knight, the former CEO of Death Row Records. However, Knight has refused to offer cooperation or provide testimony, stating:
“I ain’t sayin’ sh** about it.”
In a recent call with TMZ, Suge Knight made it very clear that he would not testify against Keefe D.
He also alleged that Orlando Anderson, the nephew of Keefe D, did not kill Tupac.

In a shocking turn of events, Las Vegas police have recently arrested Duane “Keefe D” Davis in connection with the murder of the late rap legend Tupac Shakur. The arrest has sent shockwaves through the music and law enforcement communities.
On the morning of September 29, Duane “Keefe D” Davis was arrested by Las Vegas police in connection with the murder of the late rap legend Tupac Shakur.
Keefe D has been a long-standing suspect in the murder of the late rap icon, a case that has remained unsolved for over two decades. While the exact charges against Keefe D have not been officially confirmed, authorities have indicated that they will be disclosed in a later indictment.
Davis’s name has loomed over the Tupac Shakur murder investigation for years. His involvement in the case has been widely speculated and discussed, further fueled by his 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend, in which he revealed details about the fateful night.
According to Davis, he was present in the Cadillac that opened fire on the All Eyez On Me artist when the fatal shots were fired on September 7 in Las Vegas. Shakur, who was in the passenger’s seat, sustained multiple gunshot wounds and tragically succumbed to his injuries six days later.
In July 2023, the investigation took a significant turn when police raided Davis’s wife’s residence in Henderson, Nevada. Authorities were searching for potential evidence linked to Keefe D’s involvement in Tupac Shakur’s murder. During the raid, they discovered a trove of electronic devices, including a Pokeball USB Drive, an iPhone, three iPads, four laptops, a tablet, a desktop computer, and several hard drives.
The authorities also seized copies of Compton Street Legend and a Vibe Magazine featuring Shakur, along with two “black tubs” of photographs, as detailed in the search warrant.
Furthermore, the police were on the lookout for handwritten notes, letters, or any written material that could shed light on Keefe D’s role or knowledge about the events surrounding Tupac Shakur’s murder.

Keefe D faced imminent charges in connection to the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. In an interview with VLAD TV, the former Southside Compton Crips member confessed to assisting in the shooting of the iconic rapper.
After a March 2023 interview with VLAD TV, Duane Keith “Keefe D” Davis is facing imminent charges in connection to Tupac’s 1996 Las Vegas shooting. It appears Keefe admitted to assisting in shooting the late rapper.
Law enforcement has built a case against Keefe D and is prepared to present it to a Las Vegas grand jury. On July 18, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department raided a home belonging to Keefe D’s wife, Paula Clemons, and seized various items, including magazines, computers, hard drives, and photos from the 1990s.
They also confiscated Keefe D’s book, Compton Street Legend, in which he detailed his involvement in the shooting. The former Crip revealed that he was in the white Cadillac that pulled up next to Tupac and Suge Knight during the fatal shootout.
According to Keefe, he and Suge are the only remaining living witnesses to the murder.
Greg Kading, a former LAPD detective who investigated the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls, called for the raid on Keefe D’s home. Keefe D claimed:
“I did a deal with the U.S. attorneys and the dudes from D.C. [Justice Department].. It was a way bigger time where people were gonna go downwards.. A lot of people were gonna go down.. If I wouldn’t have said nothing, we lost our whole community, lost all my homies, they shredded in an indictment, so I really did a lot of people a favor, they should be thanking me.”
However, his admissions in various interviews could now be used as evidence against him. Keefe D accused Kading of doing “crooked” work and withheld information about recording their conversation. Davis stated, “I would have never said nothing if I knew he had a f*cking thing [recorder] in his pocket.”
Authorities are considering first-degree murder charges against Keefe D, and a grand jury will convene in September 2023 to decide whether there is enough evidence to prosecute him. The investigation into Keefe’s connection to Tupac’s murder has been meticulous, as the authorities stated:
“The homicide team did not enter into this investigation lightly… They knew that the world would be watching if they took any action against Keefe. They do not want to make any missteps. One key aspect was building a strong case and file of evidence detailing how Keefe was one of the four suspects in the car, was pivotal in the actual murder, then the destruction of critical evidence.”
As details continue to emerge, Keefe D’s role in the murder of Tupac Shakur is becoming clearer. The infamous BMW that Tupac was driving on the night of the shooting is now being sold for $1.75 million. Law enforcement hopes to uncover more information about what happened that night by investigating the vehicle.
Additionally, in a separate case, the connection between the tragic murder of New York rapper Pop Smoke and a disturbing discovery in Malibu has recently come to light. California police discovered the body of Javonnta Murphy, the brother of one of the suspects arrested for the late rapper’s murder, inside a barrel that washed ashore on July 31.
