Police may wait years before arresting a man who openly discussed his involvement in Tupac Shakur’s murder so he would provide a “compilation” of confessions, a retired detective who once investigated the shocking killing told The Post.
On Friday, Las Vegas Police arrested and charged with the murder of Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who five years ago revealed in a documentary interview that he was riding in a white Cadillac in which a backseat shooter opened fire on Tupac’s BMW in Sin City in 1996.
Davis and others in the Cadillac were reportedly members of a notorious Los Angeles street gang, the South Side Compton Crips, while Tupac was affiliated with the Bloods, a rival LA gang.
Greg Kading, a retired Los Angeles Police Department homicide detective, said that with Davis sharing his connection to the shooting in an interview, followed by a tell-all memoir, Las Vegas PD is likely to hold off on arresting him so that he will continue to provide additional evidence to seal the deal. case.
“Maybe what they’re doing is saying, ‘He’s tied the rope, now, let’s let him hang himself,'” speculated Kading, who previously investigated Shakur’s murder.
“‘You didn’t just say it twice, you didn’t just say it five times,’ and now you’ve got this compilation of so many confessions,” Kading said, adding, “The perception is that it would be difficult for him at this point to say, ‘ Hey, I’m just bragging, making it up.’”

In 2018, after he was diagnosed with cancer, Davis bravely gave details to BET about the drive-by shooting, including that he was in the front seat of the Cadillac.
A year later, in his 2019 memoir, “Compton Street Legend,” Davis painted himself as one of the last witnesses to Tupac’s murder while recounting the details of the murder.
“One of my guys from the back seat grabbed the Glock and started turning around,” Davis wrote.
“As the rounds continued to fly, I ducked down so I wouldn’t get hit.”

Davis also claimed in his book that his nephew Orlando Anderson, who was also a member of the South Side Compton Crips, shot and killed Tupac.
Anderson, who died in 1998, denied any involvement in Shakur’s murder and was never charged.
Clark County Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo described Davis as the “commander on the ground” and the “caller of the shots” who “ordered the death” of Shakur.
Nevada has no statute of limitations for prosecuting murder cases.
