Tupac Shakur’s 1996 shooting death has long been an unsolved mystery, but AP reports that a man tied to his shooting was arrested in Las Vegas on Friday.

Duane “Keffe D” Davis was taken into custody early Friday morning. A Nevada grand jury later indicted Davis on one count of murder with a deadly weapon, according to Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo.

DiGiacomo described Davis as the person who “ordered the death” of the hip-hip icon, who was 25 when he was gunned down.

Davis has previously admitted in interviews and in his 2019 tell-all memoir, “Compton Street Legend,” that he was in the Cadillac that pulled up alongside Suge Knight’s car during the fatal drive-by shooting that took Shakur’s life.
