By David Charns, KLAS / Las Vegas, NV | Newly released grand jury transcripts reveal more about Las Vegas Metro police’s investigation into the murder of rapper that led to Duane “Keffe D” Davis’ arrest last week. Police arrested Davis on Friday, Sept. 29, near his Henderson home. The day before, a grand jury indicted the 60-year-old on a charge of murder with a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement. Prosecutors allege Davis ordered the shooting.
The shooting on Sept. 7, 1996, at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane, a block off the Las Vegas Strip, followed a fight earlier in the night. In the hours before the murder, Shakur’s group reportedly attacked Orlando Anderson, a member of a rival gang and Davis’ nephew. Davis, Anderson and two other men were in the shooter’s car, Davis has publicly claimed, and prosecutors said.
Shakur died six days later from his injuries.
Davis was sitting in the front passenger seat of the car, which pulled up side-by-side to Tupac’s before the shooting at the intersection, police and prosecutors said. Marion “Suge” Knight, the then-head of Death Row Records, was driving the car with Shakur in the passenger seat. Knight was injured in the shooting.
Transcripts released late Thursday include testimony from retired Metro homicide detective Clifford Mogg, who took over the case in 2018. During a press conference last week, Sheriff Kevin McMahill praised Mogg for his efforts.

“And that proffer was conducted by LAPD and law enforcement in California; Metro had nothing to do with that particular proffer that ‘Keffe D’ gave?” Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo asked Mogg during a grand jury hearing.
“We were not aware of that,” Mogg said.

Davis was expected to appear in court on Oct. 19 as he worked to secure a local attorney.
There is no statute of limitations for when prosecutors can file murder charges in Nevada. The charge can apply to those who aid or abet in a murder, not just the person accused of pulling the trigger, prosecutors said.
