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.
