The man arrested for Tupac’s 1996 murder has changed his tune
On Tupac Shakur was a passenger in a BMW 750 on September 7, 1996, that had stopped at a red light at the corner of East Flamingo Road and Koval Lane. A white Cadillac pulled up on the right. The rear passenger window rolled down and someone fired four bullets into Pac. He died of his injuries six days later.
For years, no one talked. No one was arrested and no one was convicted. But that changed in 2023 when Duane “Keefe D” Davis had his Las Vegas home raided in connection with the assassination. He was charged with murder after he confessed. The theory is that he organized the shooting–and he’s been bragging about his involvement in Pac’s shooting for the last couple of decades.
Hold up. He’s changed his mind.
On Monday, his attorney, Carl Arnold, filed a motion demanded that all charges against Davis be dropped. Why? “Egregious” constitutional violations (hey, there was a 27-year delay in bringing charges) along with a lack of evidence. I quote:
“The prosecution has failed to justify a decades-long delay that has irreversibly prejudiced my client. Moreover, the failure to honor immunity agreements undermines the criminal justice system’s integrity and seriously questions this prosecution.”
The murder of Tupac remains unsolved, as does the murder of Notorious B.I.G. which may or may not be connected.
