Duane Davis, accused in the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur, called it “the biggest case in Las Vegas history” during his arrest, police body camera footage shows.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department footage was obtained by CNN affiliate KVVU. Davis, 60, was arrested last week, accused of arranging Shakur’s shooting on September 7, 1996. Davis appeared in court for the first time Wednesday, when a judge delayed his arraignment for at least two weeks, after Davis said his defense attorney needed that much time to be present.
After officers put cuffs on his wrists and ankles and put him into the vehicle, the footage cuts to Davis being taken to a different police car at a different location. An officer asks him, “So, what they got you for man?” Davis responds: “Oh, man, the biggest case in Las Vegas history.” Officer: “Oh, yeah?” Davis: “Yeah.” Officer: “Like recent?” Davis: “September 7th, 1996.” Officer: “Oh, no s**t. Wow. That’s a long time … That’s a long time away.
