*A Las Vegas judge set bail at $750,000 for Tupac Shakur murder suspect Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who was arrested in September in connection with the 1996 murder of the rapper.
We reported previously via CNN that Davis has been housed at Clark County Detention Center since his arrest after his wife’s Henderson home was searched in July as part of the ongoing investigation into the shooting.
Shakur was shot and killed while leaving a boxing match on the Las Vegas Strip. His untimely death – the rapper was just 25 – has been the subject of conspiracy theories and a decades-long investigation.
The former Compton Crips gang leader will be released on strict house arrest if he makes bail.
Tupac’s stepbrother, Mopreme Shakur, previously said news of Davis’ arrest is “bittersweet.”
“We have been through decades of pain. They have known about this guy, who been running his mouth, for years,” he said.
“So why now?” Mopreme Shakur said. “For us, this is not over. We want to know why, and if there were any accomplices.”
As The Sun reports, Davis previously stated that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs asked him to “take out” Pac and former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight. Combs has constantly dismissed claims he was involved in Pac’s death.
In his book “Compton Street Legend,” Davis made the Diddy allegation and discussed it in a secret police interview with the LAPD. In the recording, Davis told detectives that Diddy was “happy as hell” after Pac was gunned down, The Sun reports.
He also alleged that Diddy paid the fee for the hit to a gangster named Eric Von Zip, who kept the money for himself.
In the book, Keefe explains that Diddy was “mad” at Pac over the diss track “Hit ‘Em Up.”
During a visit to The Breakfast Club in 2016, Diddy was asked about his involvement in Pac’s death.
“We don’t talk about things that are nonsense,” he said. “We don’t even entertain nonsense, so we not even gonna go there, with all due respect.”
