Tupac murder suspect told police his nephew fired fatal shots at rapper
Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, who claimed he was also in the car with his nephew, is accused of orchestrating the killing of the 25-year-old rapper in Las Vegas on Sept. 7, 1996.
Tupac Shakur's alleged murder suspect, Duane "Keffe D" Davis, has claimed that his nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, fired the fatal shots that killed the rapper in 1996. In 2008, Davis told detectives that he and Anderson were in a white Cadillac with two other men when they pulled up alongside Shakur's car. Davis alleged that Knight's car was on the other side, so he passed his gun to Deandre "Big Dre" Smith.
However, Smith refused the weapon, so Anderson took it and began firing. Davis claimed that Anderson shot across the car, and that if the car had pulled up on his side, he would have fired as well. Davis also said that Knight looked directly at him as the gunfire started, and Shakur attempted to climb into the back seat. Davis believed that Knight was shot in the head but died a week later from multiple gunshot wounds, while Shakur also succumbed to his injuries.
Davis has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge and maintains his innocence, insisting that he is "innocent" in a jailhouse interview with ABC News.
