Duane Keith Davis has been charged with murder with a deadly weapon committed to promote a criminal gang in connection with the rapper’s 1996 death.
Smith has spoken out many times about her relationship with Shakur. In an“He had so much charisma,” she said.Smith said Shakur’s death was “really tragic” but that he had left a “very strong and powerful mark” on the world.Davis, 60, also known as “Keefy D” or “Keffe D,” had previously acknowledged being in the car that pulled up next to Shakur’s vehicle in Las Vegas on Sept. 7, 1996, the night the rapper was shot.
The indictment alleges that Davis was involved in the shooting and obtained a firearm “for the purpose of seeking retribution against” Shakur and Marion “Suge” Knight, the head of his record label, Death Row, and a longtime affiliate of a rival set, the Mob Piru. The indictment doesn’t say Davis pulled the trigger, but says he and three other gang members conspired to kill the rapper “by acting in concert throughout.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jason Johansson said at a news conference Friday that Davis was the “shot caller” for his group and “orchestrated the plan that was carried out.”“This is the indictment we’ve been waiting almost three decades for,” he said Friday. “Justice will be served.
Davis immediately sought revenge, according to officials, and got the gun that was used to kill the rapper. Anderson was long suspected of pulling the trigger, but he had denied his involvement. He died two years later in an unrelated gang shootout.
