Last week, the long-standing mystery surrounding Tupac Shakur’s murder investigation saw a significant development. The police issued a warrant to search the home of Duane “Keefe D” Davis, a former Crip gang member and the uncle of Tupac’s alleged killer, Orlando Anderson. The authorities discovered several .40 caliber bullets at Keefe D’s wife, Paula Clemons‘ residence in Henderson, Nevada, just outside of Las Vegas.
As reported by the Daily Mirror, Las Vegas police are now subjecting these bullets to forensic testing to determine any potential connection with the iconic rapper’s death. The investigators hope that analyzing the bullets may shed new light on the unresolved case, which has baffled law enforcement for nearly three decades.
A police source revealed that the forensic analysis aims to ascertain if there is any link between the bullets found at Keefe D’s home and those recovered from Tupac’s body or the scene of the homicide. Microfibers or residues from the weapon could potentially serve as crucial evidence in establishing a connection. However, the source cautioned that it is a “long shot” for these bullets to be the same ones used in the 1996 shooting.
The investigation revolves around the events of September 7, 1996, when Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in Las Vegas. Keefe D claims to have been in the car with Orlando Anderson during the shooting, while Marion “Suge” Knight, the head of Death Row Records, was in the vehicle with Tupac that fateful night. Despite extensive efforts over the years, no arrests have been made in connection with the rapper’s tragic death.
On July 18, in a dramatic scene captured by TMZ, the police arrived at Clemons’ home, demanding those inside to come out with their hands up. A video showed a woman and a man leaving the residence, but their identities have not been revealed. During the confrontation, an officer requested the woman to drop her cigarettes, and it is unclear whether they were detained or arrested.
The Tupac murder case has faced significant challenges due to witnesses’ refusal to cooperate with law enforcement, which impeded the solving of the crime. Nevertheless, it is essential to note that Nevada does not have a statute of limitations for prosecuting homicide cases, offering hope that the investigation may still yield results after nearly 30 years of searching for answers. As the forensic analysis of the bullets progresses, investigators remain committed to uncovering the truth behind the tragic loss of the rap legend, Tupac Shakur.
