Diddy could be connected to Tupac’s murder – we need to open a new probe into killing, says rap legend’s brother Mopreme

TUPAC fans person been waiting for justness for the iconic rapper for astir 28 years.

Finally successful September 2023 determination appeared to beryllium advancement with the apprehension of Duane "Keefe D" Davis - a erstwhile Southside Crip gangster from Compton, LA - who had been telling the satellite for years that helium and his chap "gang soldiers" were liable for the hit.

I've been reporting connected the lawsuit for respective years and it ever appeared beauteous chopped and dry...Keefe had spent the past decennary gaining notoriety by boasting astir his alleged involvement in the shooting - present helium was yet getting what helium deserves.

But contempt Keefe moving his rima for years, I present judge a guilty verdict successful November's proceedings is acold from guaranteed.

Keefe describes successful large item successful his memoir Compton Street Legend what went down the nighttime Pac was shot, extracts from which The U.S. Sun has published.

He claimed that helium was offered a cardinal dollars by rapper Diddy to "handle" Tupac and Suge Knight and erstwhile helium and his Crip gangsters came crossed the brace driving adjacent the Strip successful Las Vegas connected September 7, 1996.

Keefe alleged helium passed the weapon to his nephew Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson who took the shot. Keefe said if Pac had been connected his side: "I would person blast".

Keefe repeated the claims aggregate times implicit the years, connected YouTube channels, documentaries, and adjacent in taped confessions to police, erstwhile helium believed helium could not beryllium prosecuted.

In 1 confession to the LAPD, Keefe appeared completely remorseless telling detectives: “We didn’t springiness a f**k...The ambulance [for Tupac] was parked close present adjacent to us. That s**t was arsenic comic arsenic a motherf**ker.”

I sent many links to his confessions to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, asking them wherefore this antheral had not been arrested yet.

They would convey maine for the info but accidental that they could not remark due to the fact that the lawsuit was inactive active. From the outside, it looked similar nary enactment was being taken astatine all. 

We spoke to erstwhile detectives progressive successful the lawsuit and documentary makers who each felt utterly frustrated astatine the lack of advancement successful the case. 

We even published a plea from erstwhile LAPD detective Greg Kading, who had probed the murders, urging Las Vegas cops to apprehension Keefe, backmost successful 2020.

For years, the lawsuit appeared to person been forgotten and ignored, to beryllium near everlastingly unsolved. 

But finally, successful the summertime of 2023, we got connection from our sources that determination had been a immense improvement successful the case.

A secret expansive jury was owed to beryllium held connected whether oregon not Keefe should beryllium indicted. I was dubious astatine archetypal but astir the aforesaid clip a location successful Henderson, Nevada, linked to Keefe, was raided in July arsenic portion of the Tupac investigation. 

Things were heating up.

Later that summer, behind closed doors, jurors listened to hours of grounds from erstwhile cops, detectives, and coroners progressive successful the Tupac lawsuit and gangsters and associates of Keefe's and Pac's from backmost successful the day.

They were shown graphic photos of Tupac's bullet-ridden body. After days of evidence, they decided determination was capable grounds to prosecute Keefe. 

Keefe was past arrested connected September 30, 2023 astatine his home. Bodycam footage we obtained from the country showed Keefe bragging to cops adjacent arsenic helium was handcuffed successful the backmost of a constabulary car - telling officers he was progressive successful the "biggest lawsuit successful Las Vegas history".

Keefe is now desperate to get out of jail, and his defence stems is leaning connected his assertion that helium completely made up his involvement in the Tupac execution for fame and money.

He saw different radical cashing successful connected the execution truthful helium thought helium would too. He reckons his confessions to constabulary were each lies - helium made it up due to the fact that he was nether a plea woody and thought it would assistance him bushed his different charges. 

And, according to his lawyer Carl Arnold, helium wasn't adjacent successful Las Vegas connected the nighttime of the shooting. Arnold remains convinced helium volition spot his lawsuit locomotion escaped and their concealed limb could beryllium erstwhile Death Row Records boss Suge. 

As the lone different idiosyncratic inactive live from either car, Suge, presently successful situation for a fatal deed and run, would beryllium a cardinal witness. Suge is the lone idiosyncratic inactive live who knows what went down - helium saw the shooter.

While he's said helium won't attest astatine the November trial, Suge has claimed successful a TMZ interrogation from prison that Orlando was not the shooter, which again throws into uncertainty Keefe's mentation of events. 

Keefe and his lawyer are hoping they mightiness beryllium capable to alteration his caput and transportation him to attest for the defense. And Suge holds the powerfulness to stroke the prosecution's lawsuit apart.

And if Keefe walks free, volition determination ever beryllium justness for Pac?
