Two of Tupac Shakur\u2019s siblings have cast doubt on the investigation reactivated this summer by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department into the 1996 murder of the rap superstar<\/a> on the Las Vegas Strip. In an interview published this week by TMZ, <\/em>Sekyiwa and Mopreme Shakur both said they don\u2019t think the trail will lead anywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnless he just never cleaned up for 30 years,\u201d Sekyiwa, Tupac\u2019s half-sister, told TMZ.<\/em> \u201cI\u2019ve raised two children in this time. They\u2019re all adults, and their wounds are clean. I can\u2019t go back to see what they did 30 years ago\u2026 I don\u2019t know how they could find something 30 years later.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

As part of the new probe, Las Vegas police searched a house a few miles off the Strip in July. The home belonged to a woman named Paula Clemons and her husband, Duane Keith Davis. A former Crips gang member who goes by the name \u201cKeffe D,\u201d Davis was the uncle of Orlando Anderson, Shakur\u2019s long-suspected killer, who died in a 1998 gang-related shooting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Police said they confiscated electronics, books, bullets, and other paraphernalia \u201cthey believe could tie Davis to the murder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the books was Compton Street Legend: Notorious Keffe D\u2019s Street-Level Accounts of Tupac and Biggie Murders, Death Row Origins, Suge Knight, Puffy Combs, and Crooked Cops.\u00a0<\/em>Self-published in 2019 by David and his cowriter, Yusuf Jah, the book features 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.<\/p>\n

The incident happened at the Flamingo Road and Koval Lane intersection on Sept. 7, 1996.<\/p>\n

\u201cTupac made an erratic move and began to reach down beneath his seat,\u201d Davis wrote in the book. \u201cIt was the first and only time in my life that I could relate to the police command, \u2018Keep your hands where I can see them.\u2019 Instead, Pac pulled out a strap, and that\u2019s when the fireworks started. One of my guys from the back seat grabbed the Glock and started bustin\u2019 back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Until the End of Time<\/h2>\n

Exactly why Las Vegas police waited until now to chase down this lead is a mystery since they\u2019re not talking about the case. But Mopreme –Tupac\u2019s stepbrother and himself a rapper — joined Sekyiwa in questioning the investigation.<\/p>\n

He told TMZ<\/em> that police didn’t even approach him until after he granted an interview to CNN about the probe.<\/p>\n

\n

Sekyiwa and Mopreme are currently mourning Mutulu Shakur, their father and Tupac\u2019s stepfather. Mutulu (born Jeral Wayne Williams) died of bone marrow cancer on July 7, 2023, at age 72, eight months after being paroled. He had served nearly 37 years in prison for his involvement — as a member of the Black Liberation Army — in a 1981 Brinks truck robbery that left a guard and two police officers dead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mutulu married Afeni Shakur, Tupac\u2019s mother, in 1975, the same year they welcomed Sekyiwa. The couple divorced in 1982, and Afeni died of cardiac arrest in 2016.<\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
