Tupac Shakur ’s 1996 murder trial took a dramatic turn on August 20, 2026, when jurors heard a 2008 police interview with Duane “Keffe D” Davis . Prosecutors say the recording captures Davis admitting his role in the drive by shooting that killed Shakur in Las Vegas. The interview was recorded on December 18, 2008, inside Davis’ attorney’s office in Los Angeles County. Davis agreed to talk while trying to avoid potential drug charges, which he said could have resulted in a life sentence; former LAPD Detective Greg Kading told Davis that his statements could not be used against him. What Did Keffe D Tell Investigators? According to the recording, Davis said he was sitting in the front passenger seat of a rented white Cadillac near the Las Vegas Strip on September 7, 1996. He identified his nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, and fellow South Side Compton Crips members DeAndre “Dre” Smith and Terrence “Bubble Up” Brown as the other people in the vehicle. Davis said the Cadillac pulled alongside a black BMW carrying Shakur and Suge Knight at Flamingo Road and Koval Lane. Davis claimed he passed a loaded .40 caliber Glock toward the back seat after deciding he did not have a clear shot, and investigators played the exchange in which Davis said Anderson leaned out of the window and fired. Davis also said the group returned to a hotel afterward to smoke marijuana and drink, while describing Knight as looking directly at him during the gunfire.
