Tupac murder accused told police in 2008 his nephew fired fatal shots
The man accused of orchestrating the murder of Tupac Shakur told police more than a decade later that he handed the gun used in the drive-by shooting to a passenger who then passed it to his nephew who opened fire on the rapper.
Duane "Keffe D" Davis, accused of orchestrating the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, told police in 2008 that his nephew fired the fatal shots. In a recently played recording, Davis stated he handed the gun to a passenger who then passed it to his nephew, Orlando Anderson, who opened fire on the rapper. Prosecutors allege Davis ordered the shooting and supplied the weapon to further criminal conduct associated with the gang he helped lead.
However, Davis' lawyer argues Davis' previous statements cannot be trusted, while the prosecution maintains the 2008 interview and his 2019 memoir support their case. Shakur's murder remains a cold case that has captivated the public's attention for over three decades.
