Las Vegas. Duane Keith “Keefee Dee” Davis has been charged with murdering rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996, Las Vegas authorities have announced.
Davis, 60, was arrested Friday morning in Las Vegas, authorities said. His wife’s Henderson home was searched in July as part of the ongoing investigation into the shooting.
Shakur was shot and killed while leaving a boxing match on the Las Vegas strip. The rapper was only 25 when he died untimely. There have been various conspiracy theories about the murder and it has been the subject of a decade-long investigation.
At a news conference Friday, officials portrayed Davis as the mastermind of a plot to kill Shakur in retaliation for an attack on his nephew. Davis was at the scene of the crime for a long time. He was in the front seat of a white Cadillac that pulled up next to Shakur’s car. Then a shot rang out from the back seat, killing the musician. The rapper was shot four times. He died six days later.
