LAS VEGAS (AP) — One of the last living witnesses to rapper Tupac Shakur’s fatal drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in 1996 was charged with murder with use of a deadly weapon on Friday, a long-awaited breakthrough in a case that has frustrated investigators and captivated the public since the hip-hop icon was gunned down 27 years ago.
Prosecutors said in court Friday that a Nevada grand jury had indicted Duane “Keffe D” Davis in the death. According to Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo, a grand jury has been convened in the matter for “several months.” DiGiacomo described Davis as the “on-the-ground, on-site commander” who “ordered Shakur’s death.”
