Jurors Hear 'Keffe D' Say His Nephew Fired Fatal Shots at Tupac Shakur in 1996 Drive-by Shooting
Jurors heard a 2008 police interview in which Davis said Anderson took the gun and fired, a key part of prosecutors’ case.
On Thursday, jurors in Clark County District Court heard a 2008 audio recording where Duane 'Keffe D' Davis told detectives his nephew, Orlando 'Baby Lane' Anderson, fired the shots that killed Tupac Shakur.
Prosecutors allege the 1996 killing was retaliation for Shakur's entourage attacking Anderson at the MGM Grand following a Mike Tyson fight, with Davis claiming he believed Marion 'Suge' Knight was dead afterward.
Detectives initially brought Davis in to discuss the 1997 Notorious case, assuring him the conversation was confidential; prosecutors argue Davis nullified this agreement by later speaking publicly about his involvement.
Davis' lawyer dismissed the prosecution's narrative as 'fiction,' arguing that Davis was 'full of crap' when he told stories about his involvement and that authorities knew it.
The 2008 recording serves as essential evidence against the 63-year-old Davis, as prosecutors intend to lean heavily on these admissions alongside podcast statements and his 2019 memoir, 'Compton Street Legend.
