Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis was arrested after he spoke publicly about his involvement in the slaying.
LOS ANGELES: A former gang leader was charged Friday with the 1996 murder of rap legend Tupac Shakur, whose shooting death rocked the music world and exposed the violent underbelly of the popular gangsta rap genre.
Shakur, the best-selling hip-hop artist behind hits such as ‘California Love’ was gunned down in in Las Vegas on Sept 7, 1996. He was just 25. DiGiacomo said the genesis of the murder had been a fight in Los Angeles between gang members, during which someone tried to steal a Death Row Records chain. The prosecutor said what happened on that night had been largely understood by investigators for many years, but they had not had sufficient admissible evidence to advance their case.“He admitted within that book he did acquire the firearm with the intent to go hunt down Mr Shakur and Mr Knight,” DiGiacomo said.
He became a key figure in a vaunted rivalry, egged on by promoters, between East Coast and West Coast hip-hop.
