Jurors hear ‘Keffe D’ say his nephew fired fatal shots at Tupac Shakur in 1996 drive-by shooting

Jurors in a Las Vegas courtroom heard testimony on Thursday from Duane "Keffe D" Davis, who claimed in 2008 that his nephew Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson fired the fatal shots that killed hip-hop star Tupac Shakur in a 1996 drive-by shooting. Davis was allegedly orchestrating the murder of the 25-year-old rapper, who was killed in Las Vegas at the age of 25.

Davis stated that their white Cadillac pulled up alongside a car carrying Shakur, along with hip-hop mogul Marion "Suge" Knight. Davis said that if they had been on his side, he would have fired the shots, but instead, the weapon was passed to Anderson, who was already in the back seat. Anderson allegedly started firing the weapon.

At the time of the interview, Anderson had been dead for a decade. Davis, who is accused of orchestrating the 1996 killing, was not in the car at the time of the shooting. The prosecution argues that Davis' statements in interviews and a memoir contradict earlier claims he made to law enforcement.
