Murder charge upheld for the only suspect to face prosecution in 1996 Tupac Shakur killing
Associated PressLAS VEGAS — The only suspect ever to be charged in the 1990s killing of rap icon Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas has lost a bid to have his murder case dismissed. In a ruling Tuesday from the bench, Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny said Duane “Keffe D” Davis isn’t protected against prosecution because he has not provided proof of immunity deals that he says he reached years ago with federal and local authorities while still living in California. Davis, an ex-gang leader, is accused of orchestrating the shooting near the Las Vegas Strip that killed Shakur shortly after a brawl at a casino involving Shakur and Davis’ nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson. In interviews and his 2019 memoir that described his life as a leader of a Crips gang sect in Compton, Davis said he obtained a.40-caliber handgun and handed it to Anderson in the back seat of a car from which he and authorities say shots were fired at Shakur in another car.
