Duane Davis, who is said to be a former street gang leader, was detained on murder charges as part of the investigation into the murder of famous rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. According to the prosecutor’s office, Davis was the person who ordered Shakur’s death, and the order was given to avenge the brawl that his nephew Orlando Anderson had with Shakur in a hotel on the night of September 7. It was also stated that Davis, who was emphasized as the “only living suspect” of the murder, had confessed to many different media outlets about his involvement in the murder.
At the age of 25, Shakur was shot four times while waiting at a red light in his car in Las Vegas and died in the hospital six days later.
