Based on his shameless and frequent boasting about his involvement in the murder of rap legend Tupac Amaru Shakur, it comes as no surprise to some observers that notorious gang member Keffe D would brag about his own arrest.

In a released police bodycam obtained by “TMZ,” Duane “Keffe D” Davis — who is also called Keefe D — was picked up by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department for allegedly participating in 2Pac’s September 1996 murder.


At one point, Keffe D explained to an officer he was being arrested for “the biggest case in Las Vegas history.”

In the video clip, one of the officers feigned surprise over the almost three-decade wait for an arrest. Keffe D didn’t name Tupac by name, but said he was being apprehended for “Sept. 7, 1996.” 


“It sure took them a while,” the cop said. Keffe D retorted, “I ain’t worried ’cause I ain’t did s—.”

Keffe D, now 60 and sporting a conspicuous stomach pouch and gray beard, did not offer even the slightest resistance to his arrest. In fact, the man who is reportedly a South Side Crip from Compton, California — a war-torn-like suburb of Los Angeles — was kind and cooperative when the officer said he was with the “metro police” and ordered him to walk towards him.

Keffe D, who was arrested on Sept. 29 and has been charged with murder with the use of a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement, according to the court documents. 

He is being accused of orchestrating the fatal shooting of 2Pac (which also injured Death Row boss Suge Knight). Prosecutors state that he supplied the gun that his nephew Orlando Anderson or Deandre Smith used to take out the revered rapper. The state of Nevada argues that Tupac’s murder was retribution for Tupac and Knight beating Anderson hours earlier inside the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino on the Vegas Strip.

Ironically, Anderson met his violent demise in a drive-by shooting years later.

Keffe D kept the case alive by bragging about his participation in the murder through his book, Compton Street Legend, and in interviews including the one with VLAD TV.
