On Monday, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police executed a search warrant at the home of a purported witness who was present in the suspect’s car when rapper Tupac Shakur was shot and killed in Las Vegas back in 1996. The individual in question is Duane Keith Davis, 60, also known as “Keefy D” or “Keffe D.”
The warrant, was issued by Clark County and targeted Davis, requiring the search for laptops and various other electronic devices at his home, NBC News reported.
The warrant revealed that police, during their search, also looked for desktop computers and electronic storage devices like thumb drives, CDs, external hard drives, and audio recordings. Davis was among four people alleged to have been in the vehicle from which the fatal drive-by shooting occurred, with Orlando Anderson, Davis’ nephew, believed to be the shooter. Anderson later died in a gang-related incident in Los Angeles.
Initially, Davis denied any involvement in Tupac’s killing when he was investigated by both the LAPD and Las Vegas Metro PD. However, under a limited non-prosecution agreement, he later provided the police with details about the case. More recently, Davis openly discussed his presence at the shooting scene through podcast interviews and other media.
The warrant stated that Davis had ties to the Southside Compton Crips street gang. During the search at Davis’ residence in Henderson, a city about 15 miles south of Las Vegas, the authorities discovered various items, including a Pokeball USB Drive, an iPhone, a gold iPad with a broken screen, a gold iPad in a pink case, and a purple Toshiba laptop, among other things.
Following the search, the police confirmed on Tuesday that they had indeed executed the search warrant. However, they declined to provide any further comments at the time.
