Tupac Amaru Shakur, also
known by his stage names Tupac, 2Pac and Makaveli, was an American rapper and
actor. Shakur sold over 75 million records worldwide, making him one of the
best-selling music artists of all time.
Tupac Shakur's career came
to a tragic end when he was murdered in a drive-by shooting in 1996.
Despite the myriad of conspiracy
theories and attempts to solve the case of his murder, the identity of the
gunman that took Tupac's life has remained a mystery for 22 years.
But the truth may have just
been revealed in an interview with Tupac murder suspect Duane Keith Davis - also
known as 'Keefe D'.
While filming the 10-part
Netflix docuseries 'Unsolved, the Tupac and Biggie Murders', Keefe D revealed
it was his nephew that pulled the trigger.
Keefe D, who made the
bombshell confession during a taped conversation under immunity, said he was in
the car when Orlando 'Baby Lane' Anderson opened fire.
Tupac, who was 25 at the
time, was shot four times in the chest on September 7, 1996 while he was in Las
Vegas. He died on September 13.
Problems began that day
when Anderson tried to steal a Death Row Records medallion from a member of
Tupac's entourage - which was affiliated with LA gang The Bloods.
Tupac and his entourage
then beat up Anderson at the MGM Grand later that night after watching a Mike
Tyson fight.

Anderson 'Baby Lane'

Anderson was a member of
rival LA gang the Southside Crips. And after the fight, they were out for
revenge.
Davis revealed in the
Netflix docuseries that they hopped into their Cadillac to find Tupac after the
beat down, knowing he was due to perform at 662 Club that night.
There were four people in
the car: Terrence 'T-Brown' Brown behind the wheel, Keefe D in the front
passenger seat, plus Anderson and DeAndre 'Dre' Smith in the back.
The group bought booze and
waited for the rapper to show up.
Soon they heard the clamour
of girls screaming 'Tupac!' and they knew the rapper had arrived.
'All the chicks was like
"Tupac!", and he was like "Hey" like a celebrity, like he
was in a parade,' Keefe D recalled.
'If he wouldn't even have
been out the window we would have never have seen him.'
Keefe D said Brown then
'bust a U-turn' and their car pulled up next to Tupac, who was riding in the
front passenger seat of his BMW alongside Suge Knight.
That's when the violence
unfolded.
'I gave it to Dre and Dre
was like '"no, no, no" and Lane was like – popped the dudes,' Keefe D
said in the taped confession in the documentary.
'He leaned over and rolled
down the window and popped them.'
Speaking months ago before
the Netflix show, in a separate documentary titled 'Death Row Chronicles',
Keefe D revealed he is ill and wanted to finally tell the world what happened
on that sad September night.
'I was a Compton kingpin,
drug dealer, I'm the only one alive who can really tell you story about the
Tupac killing,' Keefe D said.
People have been pursuing
me for 20 years, I'm coming out now because I have cancer. And I have nothing
else to lose. All I care about now is the truth.'
Yet at the time Keefe D
still refused to name the killer, saying that he was 'going to keep it for the
code of the streets'.
'It just came from the
backseat bro,' he added.
But now Keefe D has finally
revealed it was Anderson, sitting in the backseat just as he said, who
ultimately pulled the trigger.
Anderson, who always denied
he murdered Tupac, was killed in a shootout in Los Angeles two years later.
Kyle Long, the executive
producer of Unsolved, is now calling for the Las Vegas police department to
pursue Keefe D, according to the Daily Star.
'He went live on television
and confessed to being an accessory to murder and the Las Vegas PD, as far as I
know, is doing nothing about it,' said Long.
'I just think it's
outrageous.'
Keefe D's confession seems
to put an end to the numerous theories that have swirled around Tupac's death
for more than two decades.
