Tupac murder accused told police in 2008 his nephew fired fatal shots
A recording of the interview Duane Davis conducted with detectives was played to the jury.
Duane Keffe D Davis, accused of orchestrating the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, told Las Vegas police in 2008 that his nephew Orlando Anderson fired the fatal shots. Davis claimed he handed the gun to a passenger, who then passed it to Anderson, who opened fire on Shakur. However, Orlando Anderson, who died prior to the interview, denied any involvement.
Prosecutors allege that Davis ordered the shooting to exact revenge after his nephew was involved in a fight with Shakur. The case stems from a 2008 police interview, as well as a 2019 memoir co-authored by Davis, titled Compton Street Legend. Davis' lawyer argues that his client's statements in the interview and the memoir are unreliable.
