The arrest comes two months after Las Vegas police raided the home of Davis’s wife, Paula Clemons, on 17 July in Henderson. “It has often been said that justice delayed is justice denied,” Steve Wolfson, the Clark county district attorney, told reporters.

Davis was a leader of the South Side Crips gang and wrote in his book about “running a multimillion-dollar nationwide drug empire”. Shakur was 25 years old and died from his wounds six days later.

He admitted in interviews and his 2019 tell-all memoir, Compton Street Legend, that he was in the front passenger seat of the white Cadillac from which gunfire erupted during the September 1996 shooting. The 60-year-old was arrested while on a walk near his home in Henderson, a Las Vegas suburb.ĭiGiacomo said the grand jury heard evidence in the case for several months, and alleged that Davis acted as the “on-ground, on-site commander” who “ordered the death” of Shakur “for the purpose of seeking retribution”.ĭavis, whose late nephew Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson was considered a suspect in Shakur’s murder, has long been known to investigators. Duane “Keffe D” Davis, who has described himself as one of the last living witnesses of the shooting, was taken into custody early Friday morning after he was indicted by a grand jury for one count of murder with a deadly weapon in affiliation with a criminal gang, Marc DiGiacomo, the Clark county prosecutor, said in court on Friday.
