Gangster Keefe D who bragged about shooting Tupac Shakur is charged with the rapper’s murder after 27 years

Duane (Keefe D) Davis, 60, was arrested and charged with one count of murder with a deadly weapon on Friday morning, months after investigators raided a home in Las Vegas connected to the notorious Compton Crip gang leader.

A Nevada grand jury indicted Keefe on Friday, Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney, Marc DiGiacomo, said.

DiGiacomo has described Keefe as the “on-ground, on-site commander” who called for the death of Shakur, not a bystander.

After being asked if anyone else is being looked at in this case, police said Keefe is the “only living suspect.”

“For 27 years, the family of Tupac Shakur has been waiting for justice,” Clark County sheriff, Kevin McMahill,  said at a news conference on Friday.

“While I know there's been many people who did not believe that the murder of Tupac Shakur was important to this police department, I'm here to tell you that is simply not the case.”

Another official addressed reporters saying: “Duane Davis was the shock collar for this group of individuals that committed this crime, and he orchestrated the plan that was carried out to commit this crime. 

However, police say the investigation is far from over.

The arrest comes after Keefe, born Duane Davis, previously confessed to his role in the shooting of Tupac in interviews and in his book called Compton Street Legend.

“As time went on, this case has been reviewed multiple times by different investigators assigned to my section, but it wasn't until 2018 that this case was reinvigorated, as additional information came to light related to this homicide,” police lieutenant, Jason Johansson, told reporters at the press conference.

Johansson said Keefe's media interviews about his involvement in the case reinvigorated the investigation.

Never doesn't have a statute of limitations on murder cases.

Keefe has claimed on several occasions that he was riding shotgun in the white Cadillac and handed his nephew Orlando Anderson the handgun used to fire the fatal shots at the Death Row rapper near the Las Vegasstrip on September 7, 1996.

Tupac died a week later from his wounds.

In his book, Keefe wrote, in his own words, about how he helped secure a gun to murder Tupac as revenge for the rapper beating up his nephew Anderson after a Mike Tyson fight in the MGM Grand earlier that night.

He detailed how he helped coordinate a team of fellow Los Angeles gangsters to shoot at the rap icon and Death Row record label executive Suge Knight.

In a confessional passage, Keefe threw the Glock pistol in the back of a Cadillac, where his nephew Anderson and another gangster sat.

Later after encountering the rapper by chance, Keefe revealed that shots were fired from behind him into Suge and Tupac's vehicle as they were driving along the Strip.

Keefe claimed that Tupac appeared to be reaching for a weapon before the execution, but his side fired first, effectively killing the rap star.

He also confessed to hiding the Cadillac and gun after the shooting and having it repainted, repaired, and returned to a car rental firm, making forensics tough to pin down.

Keefe's full admission appears in the chapter entitled The Main Event in Compton Street Legend.
