--:-- Sean Rameswaram: Welcome to Today Explained. I'm Sean Rameswaram.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: Today, we're talking about the arrest of a man in connection with the murder of Tupac Shakur.
--:-- Joel Anderson: I'm Joel Anderson. I'm a writer at Slate Magazine and host of the Slow Burn narrative podcast series, including season three, Biggie and Tupac.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: Joel's the kind of person you reach out to when there's been an arrest in the Tupac Shakur murder case. The only thing is there's never been an arrest in the Tupac Shakur murder case until now.
--:-- Joel Anderson: We are here today to announce the arrest of 60-year-old Dwayne Keith Davis, a.k.a. Keefe D. He was charged with murder with use of a deadly weapon.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And there's this tremendous breakthrough in an investigation that technically never went cold, but seemed destined to go unresolved in the legal system.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Well, I know there's been many people who did not believe that the murder of Tupac Shakur was important to this police department. I'm here to tell you that was simply not the case.

--:-- Sean Rameswaram: The first thing I wanted to ask Joel Anderson was how surprised he was a week ago today when he got the news that there'd been an arrest in the Tupac case. Not very, because the guy who was arrested had kind of been implicating himself in Tupac's murder for at least the last five or six years.
--:-- Joel Anderson: So there's either two ways to think about it. One, well, they're just never going to arrest anybody just because they don't think they can make a case. Or that it's inevitable. Like one day somebody's going to be like, hey, this guy's been talking a lot about being there on the night that Tupac got killed. Maybe we should bring him in.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And so it seems that they finally settled on option B.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Okay, I want to hear a lot more about how we got there and how this person goes so long without getting arrested, apparently. But let's just take it back to the 90s right now and the climate in which these two titans of rap were murdered.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: You know, Tupac in 1996 and Biggie, they're two of the biggest stars in America at the time of their death. But Tupac in particular, Tupac was a record breaking rap artist. His last two full length albums debuted at number one on the charts. All Eyes on Me, his double CD, even made it the number one on the pop charts.
--:-- Joel Anderson: He'd been in a handful of movies, including Poetic Justice with Janet Jackson, which is, you know, a movie. Not a great one, but it was a movie.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: No one made a mistake, but anybody made mistakes. And he certainly seemed poised to do even more in that medium. I can act. No one alive, I think, has as much life experience to draw from.
--:-- Joel Anderson: And for Tupac in particular, calling him controversial doesn't quite cover it, Because first of all, at the time of his death, he'd not even been out of prison for a year on sexual abuse charges.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: It's not even about my trial no more. It's just about loud rap music tattoo having thugs. He's talking about thug life and all that. He's definitely guilty. Anybody with thug life tattooed on their stomach is guilty. What type of reasoning is that?
--:-- Joel Anderson: I mean, man, you know, there are a lot of famous rappers that have popped up in the aftermath over the last 27 years. And a lot of guys that have stolen his swag, whether it's the tattoos, the bandanas, the nose rings, the sort of like, I don't give a fuck ethos, really sort of long outlived him in his career.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And so a lot of people have wanted to be Tupac, but the problem is that not very many people could be him because it was a totally different time and he's a totally different person.
--:-- Joel Anderson: I'm tired of waiting for my past to get into society. All I ever wanted to do was make me and everybody around me feel more comfortable about where we were, about the places that we stay. This is our home base. Let's build it up. Let's be happy about where we come from.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: You know what I'm saying? Instead of trying to assimilate and get a pass key to where they at.
--:-- Joel Anderson: At the end of the day, I mean, Tupac was a lot of things to a lot of people. But in 1996, as he's just out of prison, he's released this hot album that's all over the pop charts. He seemed newly ascended. He was poised to become, you know, one of America's biggest celebrities.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And then what happens on September 7th, 1996 in Las Vegas?
--:-- Joel Anderson: Man, so that night, Tupac had been part of a huge Death Row Records entourage at a Mike Tyson fight.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: Hey, hey, hey, hey, buddy. When Tyson get in the ring, he knock motherfuckers out. Well, that's what Tupac gonna do.
--:-- Joel Anderson: I won't deny it. I'm a straight rider. You don't wanna f*** up me. Got the police busting at me. Mike Tyson at the time was fighting to regain one of his heavyweight belts. He fought a kind of a tomato can named Bruce Seldon.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: So Tupac recorded the song that Tyson walked out to that evening. And he was even supposed to perform later that night at a nightclub owned by Death Row Records CEO, Suge Knight.
--:-- Joel Anderson: After the fight is when things go awry. When niggas come and kiss me, I'ma knock that punk ass out. If he didn't have anybody to fight, he'd find somebody to fight.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: One of the guys in Tupac's crew, he was a member of The Blood's set, Mob Pyrue, and they saw a young man named Orlando Anderson while walking through the MGM Grand Hotel in Vegas
--:-- Joel Anderson: That member of the crew The Blood told Pac Isn that Orlando Anderson The crypt that stole our boy death row medallion the other day
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: Tupac hears this and decides to handle things himself. Pac says, he did what? I'm gonna go jump on this dude. Ain't nothing but against the party.
--:-- Joel Anderson: He rushes over to Orlando Anderson, punches him, and the rest of the Death Row crew joins in and stomps him out right there in the casino.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: You can see it on surveillance video from that night. Tupac, Suge, they're jumping on him, kicking him and everything else. And then they rush out of the MGM.
--:-- Joel Anderson: They regroup at their hotel. They're on their way to this club that was owned by Suge called Club 662. And they're going to perform.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And so while all this is going on, Orlando Anderson's licking his wounds. Not only did he get beat up, I mean, he got humiliated in front of everybody by a bunch of bloods. That is a mortal sin for a crip, right?
--:-- Joel Anderson: So he links up with his uncle and a couple of other friends as they're driving around Vegas that night, waiting around to see if they can see Tupac and his entourage.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: We were just all in the car again. This was the white Cadillac. Yeah. We used to go drink and smoke weed.
--:-- Joel Anderson: In fact, they were getting ready to go to a liquor store when they heard a couple of women screaming Tupac's name on the street.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And they say, oh, shit, that's Tupac. That's Suge Knight. He's hanging out the window like he was in a parade.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Tupac. Yeah, he was.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: An arm emerges from the car, .40 caliber gun, and shoots.
--:-- Joel Anderson: He leaned over on the window. We rode on the window. Tupac is shot four times, once in the arm, once in the thigh, twice in the chest.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And he goes to the hospital from there. And it was a week later that he dies of his injuries.
--:-- Joel Anderson: And it sounds like you know who did this. And I want to ask you how you know.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: I think I know. I think I know, Sean. I think I know.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Okay. Tell me how this investigation into the killing of Tupac Shakur goes, at least initially.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: Speaking with people who were there that night, I mean, one of the things that we do know from Vegas police is that they were just sort of scattered. And they get there, Suge Knight is in his car, in the median, disoriented, shot, injured himself.
--:-- Joel Anderson: There's all these other people that are part of the entourage and are like, what the hell just happened.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And the police show up and handcuff them and put them there in the median.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Now, keep in mind, these are people that are victims of a crime. They have witnessed their friend, their affiliate, get gunned down in the street, and they're traumatized.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And yet the police have sort of antagonized them. So that didn't do a lot to win over people and make them want to cooperate with the murder investigation, right?
--:-- Joel Anderson: And the police, you know, they were sort of slow. And some of that is because it was a drive-by shooting. I mean, it was really difficult to piece together who shot him, but they didn't do themselves any favor.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: But they did interview a few people, Orlando Anderson being one of them, and they just couldn't pin the shooting on him.
--:-- Joel Anderson: You know, Orlando Anderson says to the police, I was a victim that night. I was attacked. You're interviewing me? Yeah, how dare you interview me and think that I would kill somebody?
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And so they didn't get a lot of assistance in those early days. And there wasn't really a lot of incentive to talk.
--:-- Joel Anderson: I mean, keep in mind, in addition to the fact that the police worked as antagonists in this, this is fundamentally street stuff. And street stuff gets handled on the street.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And given that, it's understandable why the Vegas Police Department didn't get a lot of assistance from the people who were there at the time.
--:-- Joel Anderson: So they've had all this forensic evidence that they've put in storage for the last 26 years, but it wasn't until recently that people started talking about, maybe I was involved with this, maybe I know what happened, that they started cracking it back open and were able to tie people to Tupac's murder.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: So how long is it until we have a lead in this case? It's not cold from, you know, 1996 to 2023, is it?
--:-- Joel Anderson: No, it's not. And in fact, things start to open up in 2006 when the LAPD decides to look into Biggie's murder in L.A.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And they assign a guy named Detective Greg Kading.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Well, initially I was assigned to work on the Biggie case because that was an L.A.-based murder case. And by way of investigating Biggie's murder, we got involved in investigating Tupac's murder.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And so he starts looking around, trying to get some information.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Well, when we were looking at Tupac's murder, we were evaluating two theories. The Suge Knight did it theory, or the Southside Crips did it theory.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And as we began to kind of go through a process of elimination, we were able to pretty quickly dismiss the Suge Knight theory.
--:-- Joel Anderson: And of course, he starts looking into Orlando Anderson's life and all the people that he's associated with.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: Keefe D was Orlando's uncle. That is correct. Keefe D was Orlando's uncle.
--:-- Joel Anderson: How did you identify these four people in the car?
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: Actually through the confession of Keefe D. himself.
--:-- Joel Anderson: And so he interviews Keefe D. in 2008.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: I seen a bullet going through again. I thought he was dead.
--:-- Joel Anderson: And the way that they were able to do this is that Keefe D. was a well-known drug trafficker. He'd already spent some time in prison.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: They managed to catch him in the act, trying to resuscitate his drug-dealing business.
--:-- Joel Anderson: And they say, hey, look, we'll make a deal with you. Why don't you tell us what you know about the Biggie murder, and maybe we'll cut you a break on your drug trafficking case.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And he says, we didn't do that one, right?
--:-- Joel Anderson: Which is, which one did you do?
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And then that's when it all starts to start to come out.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Now, that investigation ultimately goes nowhere because at the time, LAPD was being sued by Biggie's family for kind of botching the investigation.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: They're able to settle the case. And so LAPD says, well, there's no need in doing anything else on this. We might as well shut down the investigation.
--:-- Joel Anderson: So the investigation stops in like 2010. And it sort of sits there until 2018 when Keefe D starts giving interviews to hip hop shows talking about his involvement in the Tupac murder.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: He's coming up for me going, got to the light and he happened to be hanging out the window.
--:-- Joel Anderson: So what happens next?
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: I ain't going to go into details like that.
--:-- Joel Anderson: You know what I'm saying but uh you know you got it in a book yeah so that's around it's around 2018 2019 when he starts make raising his hand and saying hey guys i was actually involved in this and let me tell you how
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: Let him buy the book Okay well I just going to read this passage The shit was on. Tupac made an erratic move and began to reach down beneath his seat.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Pac pulled out a strap, and that's when the firework started.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: One of my guys from the backseat grabbed the Glock and started busting back.
--:-- Joel Anderson: The first shot, skin shook in the head, and I thought that motherfucker was dead.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: As the rounds continued flying, I ducked down so I wouldn't get hit.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Basically, yeah.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: You'd think closure is coming, but actually, probably not.
--:-- Joel Anderson: That's next on Today Explained.

--:-- Sean Rameswaram: Visit sierra.ai to learn more.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: It's just me against the world today explain is back with Joel anderson from slate right when we left off this case was breaking open because it sounds like one of the people who helped murder Tupac Shakur, Dwayne Keefe D. Davis, was admitting that he did it. What's going on there?
--:-- Joel Anderson: Well, let's go back to 2008, after Keefe D. has spoken with LAPD under a proffer agreement, thinking that it's going to help him in his drug trafficking case.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And he's cooperated with police. He's like, all right, I've done what I said I was going to do. You guys are going to cut me a deal. I'm free.
--:-- Joel Anderson: So fast forward to 2018, and he's a middle-aged man. He's in his 50s then. And he starts giving a lot of interviews on hip-hop YouTube channels about his involvement in this case.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: It wasn't until 2018 that this case was reinvigorated as additional information came to light related to this homicide.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Specifically, Dwayne Davis' own admissions to his involvement in this homicide investigation that he provided to numerous different media outlets.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And actually in 2019, he releases his own autobiography, his memoir called Compton Street Legend.
--:-- Joel Anderson: In that autobiography, he gives detailed explanations about what happened that night, September 7th, 1996, when Tupac was killed.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And he says, hey, look, I was there. I was sitting in the passenger seat. My nephew was in the back. I had a couple friends in the car with me. And this is how it all went down.
--:-- Joel Anderson: So he starts giving all this information away. And people are like, hey, he's kind of confessing to Tupac's murder.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: I wonder what's going to happen. What takes this arrest so long? Why does this happen seven days ago?
--:-- Joel Anderson: There's a lot of competing theories about that. One is that maybe police were just waiting for him to give up enough information so that it would meet the really, you know, tough bar for a conviction.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: I mean, you know, if they bring this guy before everybody in public and say, hey, look, we've got somebody arrested in the Tupac murder, they want to make sure that they can get a conviction.
--:-- Joel Anderson: What are the charges they're bringing against Keefe D?
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: So they've charged Keefe D with murder with use of a deadly weapon.
--:-- Joel Anderson: This is the indictment we've been waiting almost three decades for.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And police said when they brought him in that they never had the necessary evidence to bring the case forward and present it for criminal charges.
--:-- Joel Anderson: And so it's evident that everything that Keefe D has been saying since 2018 is the biggest piece of it.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: This ultimately led to us procuring a search warrant, which was executed at Mr. Davis's residence in Henderson, Nevada.
--:-- Joel Anderson: And following the execution of that search warrant, this case was presented to the grand jury, which ultimately led to Davis being indicted on charges of murder.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: I think just as a note of explanation, because we talked a little bit about his cooperation with police earlier with LAPD, there are a lot of people that seem to believe that Keefe D. had a really poor understanding of what the legal implications were for this work, that he thought that because he had already cooperated, that he could just kind of say whatever, that he had immunity, that he confused a proffer agreement with immunity.
--:-- Joel Anderson: That's not how it works. And in fact, Nevada doesn't have a statute of limitations. Like they can charge you for murder at any point.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: So they just kind of were laying in wait is what it seems like.
--:-- Joel Anderson: And Keefe D. incorrectly believed that, hey, I've already told the police what I did, so I'm good now.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: It has often been said justice delayed is justice denied, but not in this case. Today, justice will be served in the murder of Tupac Shakur.
--:-- Joel Anderson: So is this it, Joel? Is this it after 27 years? Is this the conclusion that Keefe D. Davis pulled the trigger, murdered Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas in September 1996?
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: No. No, there's a lot of things at play here.
--:-- Joel Anderson: For one, Keefy D is not thought to have been the gunman in this case.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And there's some confusion around that. It's believed to have been one of the people who was riding in the backseat of the car with him on that night in September 1996
--:-- Joel Anderson: Those two people Orlando Anderson his nephew who he sort of tried to implicate as the guy who did the shooting right
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And then there another guy the DeAndre Smith man that I mentioned earlier.
--:-- Joel Anderson: And one of the witnesses in the grand jury said that it was DeAndre Smith who actually did the shooting himself.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: So it's unclear why Keefe D is trying to create this sort of confusion, but I would imagine that he's cagey.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Like, this is a dude who had a couple of drug trafficking organizations. He's not a dumb man.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And so he probably understands that if I keep some of these details murky and people can't quite figure it out, that maybe that's another layer of protection in any criminal proceedings.
--:-- Joel Anderson: But you know what? He's also written things in his book that he later disavows in interviews.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: Like he says in his book, after we murdered Tupac, we went back to our hotel and poured out a 40 for him and drank to him, right?
--:-- Joel Anderson: In an interview that he does, he says, nah, I didn't do that. Like, that's just something you sometimes write to just make things seem, you know, a little more dramatic or whatever.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: So again, we're not talking about the most trustworthy dude here.
--:-- Joel Anderson: And also, there's still not going to be a lot of cooperation among the remaining witnesses, of which there is one, Suge Knight.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: It was only two people in the car.
--:-- Joel Anderson: And Pac and I are going to tell the story. I ain't going to tell the story, but I tell you this, I never had nothing bad to say about Orlando because, number one, he wasn't a shooter.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: Number two, he came to my hearing and told me to let me go and tell the truth.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Suge Knight said from prison the other day, he told TMZ that he's not going to help.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And you are saying that if you're called to testify by either side, you will not comply.
--:-- Joel Anderson: You will not testify. Do I have that right? I wouldn't go. I wouldn't testify. None of that.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: Free KPD. He doesn't want KPD to go to prison.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Let's get one thing straight. First and foremost, if he had an involvement with anything, if he didn't have an involvement with anything, I wouldn't wish somebody to go to prison on my worst enemy.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: He knows Keefe D going back to playing Pop Warner football in Compton, right?
--:-- Joel Anderson: So they have this relationship as well.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: So you can charge a ham sandwich, right? But getting a conviction is going to be something else.
--:-- Joel Anderson: And, you know, the one thing that Keefe D has on his side is that he's been sort of sprinkling in a few lies with the truth all along to sort of, you know, confuse the record here.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: What do the fans, you know, think about the way this is played out?
--:-- Joel Anderson: You know, you made a whole show about this East Coast, West Coast beef between Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. Both are gunned down in the 90s. Neither crime is ever solved. How do fans contend with that?
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: I mean, I think they're handling about as well as they could, right?
--:-- Joel Anderson: I think there is some relief at the idea that, well, somebody's going to go through some legal hell, legal peril. You know, somebody will pay some sort of a price for having killed Tupac.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: But I also think that the fans of Tupac have kind of come to grips with the idea that I'm just going to have to love him and not think too much about how it all ended.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Because if you're a fan of Tupac, I mean, the music is timeless. It'll live forever. The work that he did, the influence he had. You can see all of his sons and daughters in hip-hop today, right?
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And the influence he's had on them.
--:-- Joel Anderson: So that is what is going to have to be the thing that carries them, not anything that happens in court.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: And I think that's probably the way Tupac would probably feel about it as well.
--:-- Joel Anderson: He was dubious about the American criminal justice system and its ability to, you know, resolve these sorts of things.
--:-- Sean Rameswaram: So I think the music and his art are are the things that we're just going to have to take with this going forward.
--:-- Joel Anderson: Joel Anderson, Slate, also one of the hosts of the Slow Burn podcast, season three is the one you want to listen to if you want to learn more about Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur.
