Tupac was not a gangster.ĪNDERSON: But he injected himself into a gang fight that night, which is how things seem to have went pretty deadly pretty quickly. And if you think about it in the moment, it's sort of remarkable. That fight has been seen and known for a very long time, right?ĪNDERSON: Absolutely. RASCOE: There is a very famous video of Tupac and his entourage getting into it with Orlando Anderson at the MGM. It wasn't long after that fight that they had in the casino that Tupac is shot to death. He was the uncle of Orlando Anderson, another South Side Crip, who is the man who got into a fight with Tupac in a Vegas casino after a Mike Tyson fight. He was a big-time drug dealer in South Central LA and the Compton area, and he was one of the, you know, OG South Side Crips from that time. Can you give us some context for who these people are?ĪNDERSON: OK, so we can start with Keefe D, otherwise known by his government name, Duane Keith Davis. RASCOE: According to the Associated Press, public records link the home where the search warrant was executed to the wife of Duane "Keefe D" Davis, the uncle of Orlando Anderson. JOEL ANDERSON: Hey, Ayesha, thanks for having me on. Joel Anderson is a staff writer at Slate and host of Season 3 of the podcast "Slow Burn," all about the murders of Shakur and later, the Notorious B.I.G.
The case is still unsolved, but Las Vegas police executed a search warrant last week on a home in Henderson, Nev., that has lots of people wondering if there's new life in the investigation.
While stopped at a red light, a white Cadillac pulled up next to Shakur's car and opened fire. The rapper was 25 years old when he was shot while riding home from a boxing match at the MGM Grand. It's the 1996 shooting death of Tupac Shakur. We're going to take a look now at what was a 30-year-old cold case.
