Tupac Shakur’s Stepbrother Sues Duane Davis Over Killing in Las Vegas
The suit cites grand jury transcripts and documentary interviews as new evidence that could identify additional people in the 1996 killing.
- On Tuesday, Maurice Shakur filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against Duane "Keefe D" Davis and 100 unnamed defendants accused of participating in his stepbrother Tupac Shakur's 1996 killing.
- Davis, a former gang leader, remains the sole suspect charged in the drive-by shooting that killed Tupac in Las Vegas, who sold more than 75 million records worldwide before his death.
- Citing grand jury transcripts and a Netflix documentary, the complaint alleges a "broader, more complex conspiracy" involving Sean "Diddy" Combs, who allegedly offered $1m for the hit; Combs has denied involvement.
- Seeking unspecified damages, the stepbrother aims to use legal discovery to identify the "individuals who may have participated in planning, financing, directing, or carrying out the conspiracy" to murder Tupac.
- With Davis scheduled for trial this summer, the lawsuit asserts that for the "first time in nearly 30 years, threads are starting to come together" regarding those who have avoided accountability.
