A recent search conducted by the Las Vegas police in connection with the 1996 drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur has revealed ties to a long-known person of interest in the case. The police department served a search warrant on Monday in Henderson, a nearby city. Though the department has not provided further details about the search or potential arrests, residents of the Henderson neighborhood reported seeing officers detain two individuals while searching a specific property. Public records link the property to the wife of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, the uncle of Orlando Anderson, a suspected rival of Shakur who was previously considered a suspect. Anderson, however, denied involvement and died in an unrelated gang shooting two years later. The search has renewed interest in the cold case, which has been shrouded in conspiracy theories and has yet to yield any arrests.
The night of September 7, 1996, Shakur was riding in a black BMW driven by Death Row Records founder Marion “Suge” Knight when gunfire erupted at a red light near the Las Vegas Strip. Shakur was shot multiple times, and the shooting followed a casino brawl earlier involving Anderson, Shakur, and their associates. Despite many witnesses, the investigation stalled due to a lack of cooperation. However, in 2018, Davis, who had been diagnosed with cancer, admitted to being in the front seat of the white Cadillac involved in the shooting. In an interview for a BET show, he implicated his nephew as one of two people in the backseat but refrained from disclosing who fired the shots, citing the “code of the streets.”
Details about Davis’s current residence and presence during the search remain unclear. However, Las Vegas court records indicate an active warrant for his arrest on a drug charge. The recent search has injected new life into the unsolved case of Shakur’s killing, highlighting the influential and versatile legacy of the rapper who received six Grammy nominations during his career.
