A Nevada grand jury has indicted 60-year-old Duane “Keffe D” Davis in the murder of legendary American rapper, Tupac Shakur, Sky News reports.

Keffe D, who is said to be the uncle of one of Tupac’s known rivals, Orlando Anderson, was arraigned before the court by the Las Vegas Police.

The jury indicted Keffe D on a charge of murder with the use of a deadly weapon.

His nephew, Anderson, who was reported to have been involved in a casino brawl involving Tupac and his associates on the night of the hip-hop star’s death, denied any involvement in the rapper’s killing at the time.

Anderson died two years later in an unrelated gang shooting.

Keffe D admitted in interviews and his 2019 tell-all memoir, “Compton Street Legend,” that he was in the car allegedly used in the shooting.

Tupac died after being shot multiple times. He was 25 at the time.

Until Friday, there had never been any arrests in the case.
