A man was arrested in recent hours in connection with the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, which occurred in 1996, as confirmed by a police source to CNN.
The source, with knowledge of the investigation, confirms that the man arrested Friday morning is Duane Keith Davis, alias “Keffe D,” whose Henderson home was searched in July as part of the ongoing Metropolitan Police investigation. Las Vegas on the shooting.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officials are expected to hold a news conference late Friday.
Shakur was shot and killed as he left a boxing match on the Las Vegas Strip. His untimely death (the rapper was only 25 years old) has been the subject of conspiracy theories and an investigation that lasted decades.
Davis long acknowledged being at the crime scene, saying he was in the front seat of the car that approached Shakur’s car when gunshots rang out from the back seat, killing the musician.

When police raided his wife’s home in July, they confiscated a copy of a memoir written by Davis detailing street gang life and Shakur’s murder. In the memoir, Davis describes himself as one of only two living witnesses to the shooting of Shakur.
The other is Marion ‘Suge’ Knight, former CEO of Death Row Records, who is now serving prison time for involuntary manslaughter in an unrelated case.
“I’ll keep it because of the street code,” Davis said when the four men in the car asked him who was responsible for pulling the trigger. “It just came from the back seat, bro.”
