Tupac murder accused told police in 2008 his nephew fired fatal shots

Duane "Keffe D" Davis, accused of orchestrating the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, has told police that his nephew, Orlando Anderson, fired the fatal shots. In a 2008 police interview, Davis stated that he handed the gun to a passenger who then passed it to Anderson, according to a transcript played in court. The murder occurred after a fight involving Anderson and Shakur in Las Vegas.

Prosecutors claim Davis ordered the shooting and supplied the gun to further criminal activities within his gang. Davis has pleaded not guilty, and his lawyer argues the 2008 interview and his 2019 memoir cannot be trusted as evidence. Shakur's murder remains an unsolved cold case with no eyewitnesses to the shooting.
