Tupac‘s alleged killer, Duane “Keefe D” Davis, has received an arraignment date, after it was revealed that he’s being held without bail in Las Vegas, NV.
Davis’s arrest marked the first ever arrest in the investigation into ‘Pac’s murder, which remained unsolved for 27 years.
2Pac was shot multiple times in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996. Six days later, he died in hospital from his injuries, cutting short the life of one of Hip Hop’s most influential figures.
Davis, 60, has long claimed that he was inside the car from which the bullets that killed ‘Pac were fired. In a 2018 interview, he claimed that his nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, was one of two people sitting in the backseat of the car, the area from which the shots were let off.
Hours before the shooting, 2Pac and his entourage had gotten into a scuffle with Anderson in the lobby of the MGM Grand, which hosted the Mike Tyson vs. Bruce Seldon fight.
Anderson was identified as a suspect in the case but was never arrested or charged. He was killed in an unrelated gang shooting in 1998.
