Breakthrough in Tupac Shakur Murder Case: Suspect Duane “Keffe D” Davis Indicted in 1996 Drive-By Shooting
A breakthrough has emerged in the long-standing mystery surrounding the 1996 drive-by shooting that claimed the life of the legendary rapper Tupac Shakur, also spelled 2Pac. The Associated Press has reported that a Nevada grand jury has formally indicted Duane “Keffe D” Davis, aged 60, in connection with the tragic event. This significant development was announced by prosecutors on Friday, September 29.
In a remarkable twist, Davis had long been on the radar of investigators due to his own admissions, both in numerous interviews and in his revealing 2019 memoir titled “Compton Street Legend.” In his memoir, he openly confessed to being present in the Cadillac from which the fatal shots were fired on September 7, 1996, leading to the untimely demise of Shakur. At the time of the incident, Shakur was 25 years old.

Notably, Reggie Wright Jr., who had served as the head of security for Death Row Records, raised suspicions last year regarding heightened activity surrounding the 2Pac murder case. He speculated that authorities were intensifying their efforts to solve the case and even remarked that “Keefe D [has] been having the runs for the last two weeks… because yeah, they are knocking on doors and there’s some activity.”
Adding another layer to the unfolding story, Las Vegas police executed a search warrant at a residence linked to Davis in mid-July. The warrant explicitly stated that they were searching for items related to the murder of Tupac Shakur. During the raid, authorities seized multiple computers, a cellphone, a hard drive, a Vibe magazine featuring Shakur, several .40-caliber bullets, two containers with photographs, and a copy of Davis’ memoir.
At the time of his tragic demise, Tupac Shakur had just released his fourth solo album, “All Eyez on Me.” This groundbreaking album continued to dominate the charts, selling an astounding 5 million copies and receiving six Grammy Award nominations.
The indictment of Duane “Keffe D” Davis marks a significant step forward in the quest for justice surrounding the murder of Tupac Shakur, a legendary figure in the world of hip-hop whose legacy continues to influence and inspire artists and fans worldwide.
