Davis’s connection to the murder is underscored in his 2019 co-authored book, “Compton Street Legends,” where he identifies himself as one of the “living eyewitnesses” to Shakur’s tragic demise. The book’s Amazon description highlights this extraordinary claim.
Tupac Shakur, a Grammy-winning rap sensation with a massive fan base, fell victim to a drive-by shooting on September 7, 1996. He was en route to a nightclub in Las Vegas when he was killed.
Despite the extensive public interest and speculation surrounding the case, it had remained unsolved for years. The case went cold.
This summer, the Las Vegas Police breathed new life into the investigation. On July 17 authorities executed a search warrant at a Henderson, Nevada residence which was directly linked to Duane “Keffe D” Davis.
The operation sought to gather crucial evidence related to the case. Among the items retrieved during the search were an iPhone, a desktop computer, four laptops, several tablets (some with damaged screens), one enclosed in a pink case, a copy of “Compton Street Legends,” a Vibe magazine issue featuring Shakur, as well as two black containers filled with photographs and alleged marijuana, according to the affidavit previously reviewed by PEOPLE.

The night of Shakur’s murder he was attending a Mike Tyson heavyweight match at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, accompanied by Marion “Suge” Knight, the founder of Death Row Records, who had signed Shakur in 1995.
