“Duane Davis was the shot caller for this group of individuals that committed this crime,” said Las Vegas police homicide Lt. Jason Johansson, “and he orchestrated the plan that was carried out.”

Davis himself has admitted in interviews and in his 2019 tell-all memoir, “Compton Street Legend,” that he provided the gun used in the drive-by shooting.

Authorities said Friday that Davis’ own public comments revived the investigation
 
The Sean "Puffy" Combs connection to this case has been known for awhile. Chuck Philips's career was nuked when he used a batch of fake or old (depending on who you believe) FBI documents and used it to publish a story in the LA Times (2008) that presented a version of events prior and leading up to that fateful night.

He pointed at "Puffy" back then and I'm pretty sure he names Von Zip as the person who provided the gun. His article was panned and retraced because it was filled with other information that was provably false.
 
[...] Davis, whose street name is Keffe D., told detectives with a Los Angeles Police Department task force in 2008, that his nephew, Orlando Anderson, shot Shakur from the backseat of a white Cadillac. Greg Kading, then an LAPD homicide detective, said Davis agreed to the proffer after the DEA built a drug case against Davis and his family.

The proffer could not be used against Davis in court. Davis, according to a recording of the interview, said he handed his nephew the gun to shoot Shakur.

In the years since the proffer, Davis has done a number of interviews where he described what happened the night Shakur was killed. Police cited his own statements as part of the evidence against him in the new indictment.

Anderson can’t be prosecuted because he was shot and killed in 1997. Police have long suspected Anderson was the shooter. [...]

Arrest made in 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas

Updated Sep 29th, 2023, 10:19 pm
 
Now retired Los Angeles police detective Greg Kading was assigned to investigate the slaying of Smalls — whose legal name was Christopher Wallace — and in 2009 interviewed Davis as a person of interest in the case. Davis had had been at the party at the Peterson Automotive Museum that Wallace had just left when he was shot.

Kading had helped build a federal drug case against Davis to get leverage to compel him to talk to Los Angeles police, who to date have made no arrests in the Wallace case.

“He confesses to his involvement in the Tupac Shakur case, he gives all the details of how he and his co-conspirators killed Tupac,” Kading recalled in an interview Friday with The Associated Press.

Is he P Diddy?

P Diddy's wiki is clean. That doesn't mean that he's perfect, but there is no history of criminal activity in his wikipedia. As a matter of fact, P Diddy went to a private high school and is a college graduate.

Sean Combs - Wikipedia

In addition to being an artist P Diddy, is also a successful music producer. He was a successful music producer back when Tupac was alive.

Davis (the guy who was arrested) implicated P Diddy. However, it sounds they were jealous of P Diddy's business skills, so he was scapegoated. (I don't know the story) Or maybe there was business falling out.


This is the guy who was arrested:

In my personal opinion, P Diddy had nothing to do with this.
 

Twenty-seven years after rapper Tupac Shakur was gunned down in Las Vegas, a Compton gang member was indicted for the crime. Police took Duane "Keefe D" Davis into custody on Friday morning and said he allegedly ordered the hit on Shakur.

Gosh, I just noticed this.

How sad....
Tupac himself had a lengthy record.
Apparently the motive was a plain old altercation that involved Tupac.

I don't know if Davis even knew Tupac until the altercation at the casino.

If they knew each other, it probably wasn't much of a relationship. (You know how acquaintances sometimes get into fights when they don't know each other too well???)

It doesn't look like there was even a heavy or deep motive...Typical fights and insults stuff.... MOO

Duane Keith Davis has been charged with murder with a deadly weapon committed to promote a criminal gang in connection with the rapper's 1996 death.

”Officials said Shakur's death was sparked by a fight earlier in the evening when the rapper and Knight roughed up a man identified as Orlando Anderson, Davis’ nephew, inside the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino following a heavyweight fight between Mike Tyson and Bruce Sheldon.

Davis immediately sought revenge, according to officials, and got the gun that was used to kill the rapper.
