Jurors hear Duane Davis name nephew as Tupac Shakur shooter
What's new: Prosecutors played a 2008 interview they call core evidence in the Las Vegas trial over Shakur's 1996 killing.
Jurors in Las Vegas heard Duane "Keffe D" Davis tell police in a 2008 interview that his nephew, Orlando Anderson, fired the shots that killed Tupac Shakur in a 1996 drive-by shooting. Prosecutors say the recording is central to their murder case against Davis, who is charged with using a deadly weapon to further gang activity and has pleaded not guilty. In the interview, Davis said he passed a gun across the back seat of a white Cadillac before Anderson opened fire on the car carrying Shakur and Marion "Suge" Knight. Defense lawyer Michael Sanft has argued Davis made up stories about the killing and that investigators failed to corroborate them. Anderson died years before Davis was charged in 2023.
