Duane 'Keffe D' Davis indicted on murder charge for Tupac Shakur 1996 shooting! LAS VEGAS — One of the last living witnesses to the fatal 1996 drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas was charged Friday with murder with use of a deadly weapon in the killing of the rapper, a long-awaited breakthrough in a case that has frustrated investigators and fascinated the public ever since the hip-hop icon was gunned down 27 years ago. He added that though many "did not believe that the murder of Tupac Shakur was important to this police department, I'm here to tell you that was simply not the case. It was not the case back then, and it is not the case today." Lt. Jason Johansson walked press through the investigation and what led to the indictment of Davis, leader and "shot caller" for the South Side Compton Crips gang. He and his nephew Orlando Anderson were in Las Vegas for a Mike Tyson fight, as were Shakur and Suge Knight. An incident involving Knight "punching and kicking" Anderson "would ultimately lead to the retaliatory shooting and death" of Shakur, Johansson said.
