Tupac Shakur’s suspected murderer ‘facing imminent charges’ after he boasted in book about killing rap icon
Tupac Shakur’s suspected murderer is said to be facing “imminent charges” after the gangster boasted in a book he killed the rapper.
as Vegas homicide detectives are now reportedly “optimistic” they have built enough evidence against Compton Crip gang leader Keefe D, 60, to finally close the Tupac case almost 27 years after the rap icon was fatally wounded and died six days after being shot four times on the Las Vegas strip aged 25 on 7 September 1996.
Insiders told The US Sun on Friday that “leading officers, with the backing of the district attorney”, have “allegedly built a strong case against Keefe D”, who has previously confessed to helping hunt down and assassinate Tupac.
The district attorney’s office is due to present their case to a Las Vegas grand jury, two sources confirmed to the publication.
One insider said a criminal case will be brought “imminently” and the district attorney “is looking at first degree murder potentially for Keefe D” based on Nevada law.
Keefe has given multiple interviews and written a memoir called ‘Compton Street Legend’ confessing to his role in the shooting of Tupac, and claims he rode in the car and handed nephew Orlando Anderson the murder weapon before he fired the fatal shots that killed the rapper.
If a grand jury decides that the evidence supplied is strong enough for them to suspect Keefe of being criminally guilty in any capacity for Tupac’s death, the case will be able to proceed.
