Las Vegas police have arrested a man over the 1996 drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur, 27 years after the rapper’s death.
Duane “Keffe D” Davis was arrested early Friday morning according to AP, but the exact charges were not immediately available.
Davis had been very public about being a witness to the shooting of Tupac, then 25, and hip hop mogul Marion “Suge” Knight on the Las Vegas strip in September 1996.
Davis said he was one of four occupants of a white Cadillac which pulled alongside the rapper’s car, rolled down its windows and shot, hitting Tupac three times.
In his memoir “Compton Street Legends,” Davis identified his nephew, Orlando Anderson, as the one who fatally shot Tupac. Anderson, who was a member of the South Side Compton Crips gang, died in 1998.

In July this year Las Vegas police served a search warrant at the Henderson, Nevada, home of Davis’ wife, Pamela Clemons, as part of the Shakur’s homicide investigation.
Cops confiscated several computers, laptops and iPads from the home, as well as the .40 caliber cartridge — of which many of the same type of casings were recovered from the scene where Shakur was shot, according to a search warrant obtained by The Post.
