Nearly Three Decades After Tupac’s Murder, Someone Has Been Charged
It has been nearly three decades since 2Pac’s passing. Since then, one of the most popular conspiracies on the internet has been regarding his passing. Who had Tupac killed? Was it Suge Knight due to Pac’s impending departure from Suge’s label Death Row? Was it due to the power-thirsty East-West Coast rivalry? Did 2Pac fake his death and is he living in Cuba like other defected American revolutionaries? All those questions have been answered, and the answer is no. In fact, it’s unequivocally obvious what transpired given context.
Suge Knight was not a good influence on Tupac Shakur. As a Mob Piru Blood gang member, Suge Knight had feuded frequently with South Side Compton Crips. The night Bruce Seldon and Mike Tyson squared off at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, a fight had ensued where Death Row members jumped a Crip member, Orlando Anderson. Later that night, a car of four people sought retribution, pulling up on the car Suge Knight and Tupac were in. Bullets were unleashed, shooting them both, and ending the legendary rapper’s life.
We now know the car of four included four South Side Compton Crips, long since suspected to be Orlando Anderson, Terrence Brown, and Deandrae Smith. All three have died since, which has made the case increasingly difficult to close. However, one person remains alive from that car, Duane Davis. Also known as “Keefe D”, Davis has now been charged with murder with use of a deadly weapon.
Sometimes stories are less exciting than the conspiracy people want to fantasize about. Sometimes it’s an all-too-familiar story about the company you keep. Sometimes that company can be deadly. It may not be poetic justice, but it seems as though we finally have answers.
