Las Vegas Police Department in the United States, US, has announced the arrest on Friday, 29th September 2023, of a 60-year-old prime suspect in the murder of the foremost protagonist of rap music, Tupac Shakur, 27 years after.
Sheriff Kevin McMahill, from the Las Vegas Police Department, announced the arrest of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, aka, DKD.
According to Sheriff Kevin McMahill, the 60-year-old culprit arrested will bring a sigh of relief to the cops and to the people of Las Vegas after 27 years of painstaking scouting for the assailant.
Steven Wolfson, Las Vegas’s district attorney, who has since been working on the case of Tupac’s murder, said the team of detectives “never surrendered” (quoting from one of the lines in 2pac’s rap songs) in the quest to find the truth.
Wolfson described Tupac as a music legend although he was murdered at age 25 on the night of 7th September 1996.
Wolfson however, held up the indictment against Duane Keith Davis, DKD, now in police custody.
WHO WAS THE RAPPER, TUPAC SHAKUR- 2PAC
Tupac Shakur was born in East Harlem, New York City, in 1971. He released his debut album, 2Pacalypse Now, in 1991.
Tupac, whose stage name was stylized as 2Pac, went on to enjoy chart success with multiple hits including California Love, All Eyez on Me, Changes, and “I Ain’t Mad at Cha”.
His music often touched on themes around social issues such as inequality – and his contribution to the music world continued even after his death.
Tupac sold more than 75 million records worldwide – and in 2017 he was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Earlier this year, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame – making him one of only 12 rap artists to be given one.
