Biggie's Murder Case Led to Tupac's Killer — Then WHAT?

Duane "Keffe D" Davis was convicted of first-degree murder on August 31, 2026 for orchestrating the shooting of Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas in 1996. The confession that built that case didn't come from the Tupac investigation. It came from the Biggie Smalls investigation.

In 2008, LAPD detectives approached Davis about the murder of Christopher Wallace. He denied any role in Biggie's death. Then he told them he was involved in Tupac's. Detectives who went looking for one killer found another — and the institution behind them responded by disbanding the task force, letting the lead detective walk away, and going silent on Biggie's case for the next sixteen years.

The alleged shooter in Biggie's murder was killed in 2003. The original lead detective died in 2015 after being forced off the case by his own chief. The woman who confessed to arranging the hit has immunity. The man both investigations point to as the person who ordered it is serving a 28-year sentence and has never admitted a thing. The LAPD won't confirm whether anyone is still investigating. This episode lays out the full chain of institutional failures that left a solvable murder unsolved for twenty-nine years.
