Tupac Shakur murder suspect Keefe D was ‘laughing’ at cops and telling pals ‘they can’t do s**t’ before shock arrest
TUPAC suspect Keefe D had been laughing at cops and mocking law enforcement for several years before his shock arrest, sources told The U.S. Sun.
Sources claim
Keefebragged to pals and even tourists about his alleged role in the murder of
Tupac Shakur27 years ago.
On Friday, Duane “Keefe D” Davis was arrested and accused of leading the crew behind the
September 7, 1996 killing of rap legend Tupac .
Detectives say the self-described gangster was one of four individuals who were connected to the murder in the early stages of the investigation.
Davis has publicly admitted that he provided the gun that was used in the drive-by shooting, but police were never able to pin the crime on him.
Meanwhile, behind closed doors, Davis would allegedly brag about his involvement and say, “The police ain’t gonna do s**t,” sources in Las Vegas claimed to The U.S. Sun.
Originally from Compton,
Los Angeles, Davis also allegedly boasted about trying to organize tours of the Las Vegas strip as a limo driver where he would describe the moments of the fatal night, the source claimed.
“Keefe openly mocked the prospect of justice for many years when he felt that the police were never going to take action against him two decades after the killing he almost went into hyperdrive talking and boasting about his role in the death,” the source said.
“He’d be at parties and events and enjoying the limelight being considered the man who knew the secrets of how Tupac passed.
“When people would ask if he had fears of police taking action, Keefe would say ‘The police ain’t gonna do s**t,’” the source claimed.
Davis also told associates and friends that he had a longstanding deal, known as a proffered deal, which would protect him from prosecution.
The source claimed: “Keefe’s foolish attitude got him in trouble and his lack of knowledge of the law may have cost him his freedom.
“Las Vegas Metro Police had not taken that much of an interest in the Tupac case for many years because they thought could not find compelling enough evidence to move forward.
“But Keefe’s own boasts and comments led to him becoming a person of interest for Metro and then detectives discussed with the DA whether those comments could help them seek a prosecution.
“Keefe ignored police who made several efforts to reach out to him.
“Detectives went around to talk to them and he told them ‘You ain’t got nothing on me’ and that’s why they have taken this action.”
Tupac was allegedly targeted by Davis after the rapper attacked his nephew, Orlando Anderson, police said.
Cops said it was after this incident that Davis obtained the gun which shot Tupac — which, if true, could land him in jail for being guilty by association.
District Attorney Steve Wilson told The U.S. Sun: “Under
Nevada law you can be charged with a crime whether you are directly involved or whether you are an aider or an abettor.
“If you helped somebody commit a crime, you are equally as guilty.”
Davis first boasted about Tupac’s murder in 2018 and named his nephew Orlando Anderson as the shooter.
But Anderson, who was shot to death two years after Tupac, always denied killing him.
In the Netflix show Unsolved, Davis boasted of the murder: “I’m going to keep it for the code of the streets. It just came from the backseat bro.”
Police said Keefe is the “only living suspect” in the case.
“For 27 years, the family of Tupac Shakur has been waiting for justice,” Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill said following the arrest.
“While I know there have been many people who did not believe that the murder of Tupac Shakur was important to this police department, I’m here to tell you that is simply not the case.”
Davis is expected in court in the next few days.
He has yet to submit a plea.
