2Pac\u2018s alleged killer Duane \u201cKeefe D\u201d Davis has claimed that he is innocent of the crime and has instead accused a former security guard for Suge Knight of orchestrating the rapp<\/a>er\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n Speaking to ABC News<\/em><\/a> in his first interview since being arrested in 2023, the former gang leader maintained that he was not involved in the 1996 killing of the \u201cCalifornia Love\u201d hitmaker.<\/p>\n AD LOADING…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI did not do it,\u201d he said, before downplaying prosecutors\u2019 case against him. \u201cThey don\u2019t have nothing. And they know they don\u2019t have nothing. They can\u2019t even place me out here. They don\u2019t have no gun, no car, no Keefe D, no nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n Keefe D also claimed that he was hundreds of miles away in Los Angeles the night 2Pac was fatally shot on the Las Vegas strip<\/a> \u2014 and has \u201cabout 20 or 30 people\u201d who can corroborate his alibi at trial.<\/p>\n The accused killer went on to accuse Reggie Wright Jr., an ex-Compton police officer and former head of security at Death Row Records, of being the mastermind behind the murder, labeling him and his security company \u201cmercenaries.\u201d<\/p>\n Wright Jr., who previously testified in front of the grand jury that would charge Keefe D with 2Pac\u2019s murder, hit back at the claims.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s heartbreaking they keep dragging in my name. I didn\u2019t have anything to do with that. One of the worst days of my life when I heard that that happened,\u201d he told ABC News<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cKeefe D confessed to Tupac\u2019s murder to the LAPD in 2008, to the Las Vegas Metro PD in 2009 and then publicly from 2018-2023 on BET, multiple YouTube<\/a> interviews, and in a book about his life, and is only now using the media to slander me because he finally got arrested and has no other defense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\nAD<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
