Moment Tupac’s alleged killer is arrested by police | US News

New body cam footage released by the police shows the moment Tupac’s alleged killer was arrested.

Former gang member Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis, 60, was arrested on September 29 and remains in police custody.

Davis is heard in the footage asking why police did not ‘bring the media’ with them.

Nevada grand jury has indicted the 60-year-old on a charge of murder, with use of a deadly weapon.

Tupac Shakur died on September 13 1996, a long-unsolved crime that became a defining moment in the history of rap music.

Davis was charged with one count of murder with a deadly weapon for his alleged role in leading a group of men to kill Shakur in a drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas strip.

Davis is accused of a plot to avenge the beating of his nephew, Orlando Anderson, inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena by Shakur and members of his entourage on the night of September 7 1996, just hours before the shooting.

Several men were seen kicking and punching a person they identified as Anderson near a bank of elevators before security personnel broke up the altercation, in hotel security footage shown during a news conference last week.

This incident led to the retaliatory shooting death of Shakur, police said.

Davis, along with Anderson and two other men, Terrence Brown and Deandre Smith, boarded a white Cadillac and rode off to locate the black BMW that was carrying Shakur after obtaining a gun from an unknown associate.

When Davis and the others caught up to Shakur’s vehicle, shots were fired from the Cadillac into the passenger side of the BMW. Shakur, struck four times, died in a hospital six days later at the age of 25.

Authorities have not said who actually fired the gun at Shakur. The three others in the Cadillac with Davis have all since died.
