Tupac Shakur was shot at a Las Vegas intersection on September 7, 1996 and died at the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada six days later. The murder remains unsolved despite numerous theories pointing to the late Orlando Anderson as the triggerman. Countless articles and numerous documentaries have explored the topic, but theyve never led to an arrest. As the 25th anniversary of 2Pacs death inches closer, The Sun reports police intentionally decided not to investigate the murder further, even though Andersons uncle Duane Keefe D Davisconfessed to being an accomplice in his Compton Street Legend memoir following a 2018 cancer diagnosis. A source connected to Las Vegas Metro Police claims detectives opted not to question him due to his failing health and considered it a waste of time. Cops believe any criminal case would be tough to justify in terms of cost to the taxpayer and man hours, given the possibility of Daviss death during prosecution. The source added theres also no guarantee Davis would confirm his book confession in a formal police interview. (In 2018s Death Row Chronicles, Davis also claimed he knew who pulled the trigger in 2Pacs murder but refused to name the shooter, claiming doing so would violate the code of the streets despite his Compton Street Legend admission.) Ex-Los Angeles Police Department detective Greg Kading, who solved 2Pacs murderover a decade ago, has called for Daviss arrest only to be disappointed time and time again. The case of Tupacs murder remains open and will likely stay that way now, the source reportedly said. wrote his book outlining exactly what went down with the murder, confirming that Orlando pulled the trigger. The detectives were aware of what had written in his memoir, but also knew hed told people he did not have long to live. A decision was made based on the best use of resources for the department. Simply put, pushing a criminal investigation for a dying man is a waste of time and taxpayers money with no strong chance of justice. Furthermore there is no guarantee that would even talk to them about the night on record, or not say that his book was fictional simply to create buzz and sell copies. The detectives have many other more pressing cases to attend to in Vegas. Read more
