Former LAPD Detective Testifies To Keefe D Telling Him About Diddy’s Involvement in Tupac Murder
- On Tuesday, former Compton police officer Robert Ladd testified that Duane Keffe D Davis was a high-ranking shot caller whose authority meant younger gang members would not have opened fire on Tupac Shakur without his permission.
- Prosecutors allege Davis orchestrated the shooting in retaliation for a casino brawl hours earlier involving Shakur and Davis's nephew, Orlando Baby Lane Anderson, who allegedly opened fire from a Cadillac.
- Defense attorney Michael Sanft emphasized the lack of physical evidence, while Ladd acknowledged having no phone records showing Davis ordered the shooting and no documentation placing him in Las Vegas that night.
- As the 23rd witness called by prosecutors, Ladd testified before the state is expected to rest its case Wednesday, with defense arguments Friday and closing arguments anticipated Monday.
- Under Nevada law, someone who helps another person commit murder can be convicted even if they did not fire the shots, though Sanft characterizes his client's accounts as fabricated bravado while prosecutors argue Davis's own words are central to their case.
