A man has been arrested by Las Vegas Police for the drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur in 1996.Shakur was leaving a Mike Tyson boxing match at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino on 7 September when an unknown assailant pulled up beside him and opened fire.He was inside a vehicle at a red light when he was shot multiple times, including once in the chest.Suge Knight, the boss of 2Pac's label Death Row Records, was also in the car at the time of the attack.Shakur was rushed to a hospital, but was pronounced dead six days later.Las Vegas Police have now confirmed that officers arrested Duane 'Keffe D' Davis this morning (Friday 29 September) over the attack, although the exact charge or charges were not immediately clear.A formal indictment is expected later today. The arrest marks a huge breakthrough in a case that has frustrated investigators and fascinated the public ever since Shakur was gunned down on the Las Vegas Strip 27 years ago.Davis has been known to investigators for some time, having previously admitted in interviews and in his 2019 tell-all memoir Compton Street Legend, that he was in the Cadillac where the gunfire erupted during the drive-by shooting.
