JUSTICE COMES Keefe D who bragged about shooting Tupac Shakur is arrested after death remained unsolved for 27 years

A GANGSTER who bragged about being involved in the fatal shooting of Tupac Shakur has been arrested 27 years after the murder went unsolved.

Keefe D, 60, was arrested on Friday morning, months after investigators raided a home in Las Vegas connected to the notorious Compton Crip gang leader.

The arrest comes after Keefe, born Duane Davis, previously confessed to his role in the shooting of Tupac in interviews and in his book called Compton Street Legend.

Keefe has claimed on several occasions that he was riding shotgun in the white Cadillac and handed his nephew Orlando Anderson the handgun used to fire the fatal shots at the Death Row rapper near the Las Vegas strip on September 7, 1996.

In his book, Keefe wrote, in his own words, about how he helped secure a gun to murder Tupac as revenge for the rapper beating up his nephew Anderson after a Mike Tyson fight in the MGM Grand easier that night.

An entertainment insider revealed: “Keefe has been very open about his aspirations to make a film or TV show about his life.

"He has been happy to trade on the infamy of being part of the crew that took down Tupac, and he feels it can be taken to the next level.

“He was connected to some producers, who he said were interested in building out the project.

"But he also admitted that finance was needed to get the project off the ground.

"He was saying that he had a connection to Ryan Seacrest, although no one was sure whether that was real or not.

“Certainly, the content Keefe was suggesting would be controversial, heated, and R-rated.

"The issue for any network was always going to be how audiences reacted to his play-by-play on how Tupac was hunted down by his gang and killed by his nephew.”The source added: “He saw the NWA film Straight Outta Compton and felt he needed to get his story out as it would be as big.”
