The death of one of the most transformative artists of his generation 27 years ago returned to the headlines last week after the authorities in Las Vegas, US, announced the arrest and indictment of a suspect in the murder.
Duane Keith Davis (Keffe D), a self-described gang member, has repeatedly confessed to participating in the 1996 shooting of rapper and actor Tupac Amaru Shakur. He recounted the events in his 2019 memoir Compton Street Legend about a dispute that escalated after Tupac and his crew beat up Davis’s nephew, Orlando Anderson, a member of a California-based gang.
