New details have emerged about the unsolved 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur. Police reactivated the investigation this week, and more than two dozen items were confiscated from a house at 2204 Maple Shade Street in Henderson, Nev. on Monday. That’s according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, <\/em>which obtained a copy of the warrant.<\/p>\n

This Henderson, Nev. house was searched by police this week in connection with rapper Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder. (Main Image: Google Street view, inset: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The items included 11, .40-caliber bullet cartridges, as well as computers, an iPhone, and other devices that could possibly contain evidence of gang activity or of Shakur’s murder. In addition, photographs, a book, and an undisclosed amount of \u201cpurported marijuana\u201d were confiscated.<\/p>\n

The home belongs to alleged Southside Compton Crips member Duane Keith \u201cKeffe D\u201d Davis, 60. Davis was the uncle of Orlando Anderson, Shakur\u2019s long-suspected killer, who died in a 1998 gang-related shooting.<\/p>\n

\n

The confiscated book was Compton Street Legend: Notorious Keffe D\u2019s Street-Level Accounts of Tupac and Biggie Murders, Death Row Origins, Suge Knight, Puffy Combs, and Crooked Cops. <\/em>Self-published in 2019, it was written by Davis with Yusuf Jah. The book features an admission by Davis that he drove Anderson in the white Cadillac that pulled up and opened fire on Shakur and Death Row Records cofounder Suge Knight. The incident happened at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane on Sept. 7, 1996.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cTupac made an erratic move and began to reach down beneath his seat,\u201d Davis wrote in the book. \u201cIt was the first and only time in my life that I could relate to the police command, \u2018Keep your hands where I can see them.\u2019 Instead, Pac pulled out a strap, and that\u2019s when the fireworks started. One of my guys from the back seat grabbed the Glock and started bustin\u2019 back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shakur died from his injuries six days later at age 25.<\/p>\n

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department requested the search warrant on Saturday, according to the R-J.<\/em> District Judge Jacqueline Bluth wrote that probable cause was established to issue a \u201cno-knock\u201d warrant, meaning police wouldn’t need to notify the residents before entering.<\/p>\n

The warrant also specified personal property, bills, and receipts, establishing \u201cthe identity of persons in control of\u201d the house.<\/p>\n

Was Retaliation the Motive?<\/h2>\n

Surveillance footage from the MGM Grand shows Shakur and Knight viciously beating Anderson<\/strong><\/a> as he tried to exit a Mike Tyson v. Bruce Seldon boxing match. The beef, which occurred minutes before Shakur\u2019s murder, was allegedly over a stolen medallion.<\/p>\n

Two months earlier, an entourage led by Anderson had reportedly assaulted Trevon Lane, a close friend of Knight\u2019s and a member of LA’s rival Bloods street gang. During the assault, Anderson allegedly stole a Death Row Records medallion given to Lane by Knight.<\/p>\n

It was Lane who pointed Anderson out to the Death Row entourage. In the security camera footage, Shakur can be seen throwing the beatdown\u2019s first punch.<\/p>\n

Anderson, whom LA police still consider the prime suspect in Shakur\u2019s murder, was killed in an unrelated gang shootout on May 29, 1998.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The same gun used in the shooting, a .40 caliber Glock 22, was reportedly found in a duffle bag in the Compton backyard of the girlfriend of one of Anderson\u2019s friends. The bag reportedly had a Las Vegas mailing address inside it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
