Jurors hear ‘Keffe D’ say his nephew fired fatal shots at Tupac Shakur in 1996 drive-by shooting
Jurors heard Davis say his nephew fired the fatal shots as prosecutors rely on his 2008 interview and memoir in the case.
- On Thursday, jurors in Clark County District Court heard a 2008 audio recording where Duane 'Keffe D' Davis told detectives his nephew, Orlando 'Baby Lane' Anderson, fired the shots that killed Tupac Shakur.
- Prosecutors allege the 1996 killing was retaliation for Shakur's entourage attacking Anderson at the MGM Grand following a Mike Tyson fight, with Davis claiming he believed Marion 'Suge' Knight was dead afterward.
