Tupac Shakur’s alleged killer Keefe D’s arrest, explained
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police arrested Keefe D for the alleged murder of Tupac Shakur on September 29 of this year. Recently, he confessed in a Las Vegas court that rapper/actor Sean Combs offered him $1 million to kill Tupac. Furthermore, the accused explained that Suge Knight was a target.
Duane Davis, aka Keefe D, was born on June 14, 1963, in Compton, California. He reportedly used to play football with Suge Knight and was close friends with the frontman of N.W.A, Eazy-E. Keefe D is married to Paula Clemons.
The accused later joined the California-based street gang South Side Compton Crips and began a life of crime. In 2019, he released a tell-all memoir called Compton Steet Legend, where he got candid about his life as a leader of the notorious gang. Keefe D alleged that he was initially working at Compton College, but the money he was making was insufficient for him to sustain.
Soon after, he began dealing drugs and realized that he was making quick and easy money. The 60-year-old gangster spent the years 1985 to 1989 in prison for drug dealing.
According to Today, Keefe D is currently being held without bail. However, it has not been revealed if he has hired a defense attorney.
