Tupac's Siblings Express Skepticism Over the New Las Vegas Homicide Probe
Tupac Shakur's siblings are not confident in the ongoing investigation by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department regarding his 1996 murder on the Las Vegas Strip. In a recent interview with TMZ, Sekyiwa and Mopreme Shakur both expressed their doubts on the case.
Sekyiwa, who is Tupac's half-sister, stated, "Unless he just never cleaned up for 30 years, I've raised two children in this time. They're all adults, and their wounds are healed. I can't go back to see what they did 30 years ago... I don't know how they could find something 30 years later."
To find the latest updates in this case, the Las Vegas police searched a house a few miles from the strip in July. The house belonged to Paula Clemons and her husband, Duane Keith Davis. Davis, a former Crips gang member known as "Keffe D," is the uncle of Orlando Anderson, who has long been suspected of killing Tupac. The investigation led to the confiscation of electronics, books, bullets, and other items that could potentially connect Davis to the murder.
One of the books discovered was "Compton Street Legend: Notorious Keffe D's Street-Level Accounts of Tupac and Biggie Murders, Death Row Origins, Suge Knight, Puffy Combs, and Crooked Cops," written by Davis and Yusuf Jah. Published in 2019, the book holds an admission by Davis that he drove Anderson in the white Cadillac that pulled up and opened fire on Shakur and Death Row Records cofounder Suge Knight.
The shooting took place on September 7, 1996, at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane.
"Tupac made an unusual move and reached down below his seat," Davis recounted in his book. "It was the first time in my life I could relate to the police command, 'Keep your hands where I can see them.' Instead, Pac pulled out a strap, and that's when the fireworks started. One of my guys from the back seat grabbed the Glock and started firing back."
However, both Mopreme, a rapper and Tupac's stepbrother, and Sekiya are puzzled as to why the police waited until now to pursue this lead. Mopreme also mentioned that the police had not yet spoken to him before he gave an interview to CNN about the investigation.
At the moment, Sekiya and Mopreme are dealing with the loss of their father and Tupac's stepfather, Mutulu Shakur, who passed away from bone marrow cancer on July 7, 2023, at the age of 72. He had served nearly 37 years in prison due to his association with the Black Liberation Army and the 1981 Brinks truck robbery that resulted in the death of a guard and two police officers. Mutulu married Afeni Shakur, Tupac's mother, in 1975, and together, they welcomed Sekiya. The couple divorced in 1982, and Afeni died from cardiac arrest in 2016.
