Raleigh Durham, NC, August 21, 2026 —

In a Las Vegas courtroom, testimony has emerged in the 1996 drive-by shooting case involving the death of Tupac Shakur. Duane “Keffe D” Davis testified before jurors, stating that his nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, was the individual who fired the shots that killed the rapper.

The statement attributed to Davis, which implicated Anderson in the fatal shooting, was reportedly made to detectives in 2008. The details of this testimony were presented as part of the ongoing legal proceedings related to the 1996 incident.

Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later. The circumstances surrounding his death have been the subject of widespread speculation and investigation for decades. The recent testimony offers a direct account from a party involved in the events, according to the prosecution.

Orlando Anderson was a known associate of the South Side Compton Crips and was reportedly involved in a physical altercation with members of a rival gang, including the entourage of Tupac Shakur, shortly before the shooting. Davis has publicly admitted in the past to being present during the shooting but has consistently denied firing the weapon himself.

The prosecution is using Davis’s earlier statements to detectives as evidence in the current case. The defense is expected to challenge the veracity and circumstances under which these statements were obtained. The jury will weigh this testimony alongside other evidence presented during the trial.

The case continues to unfold in the Las Vegas court, with further testimony and evidence expected to be presented regarding the events of that night in 1996.
