Ice-T speaks out on Duane Keith “Keefe D” Davis’ recent arrest.
During an interview with AllHipHop, the rapper-turned-actor highlighted Davis consistently repeated a specific error. In a 2018 installment of BET’s Death Row Chronicles, Keefe not only acknowledged his presence in the car when Tupac was shot but also reiterated this in his memoir.
“My initial thought was ‘people talk too much,’” Ice-T says. “I think L.A. knew exactly how this thing played out. I just don’t really understand why it took law enforcement so long. Because if I say that I’m in a car with somebody that does something, I’m part of the crime. If I go over to your house and ask you for a gun and you give it to me and I go do it, you aided and abetted the crime.”
He added, “So my point is that with all the interviews and all the books where dude just happened to say it 100 times on interviews he did, ‘I was in the car’—he said it. No one else said it. He said it. So why? Why? Why would you say that if you didn’t want to get caught? So you know, I got no love for dude. It was a chain of events that should not have ever happened. It’s all out of my realm of understanding.”
On September 7, 1996, Tupac suffered multiple gunshot wounds at the intersection of Flamingo and Koval in Las Vegas. Sadly, six days after the shooting, he passed away at the University of Nevada Medical Center. For nearly three decades, his murder has remained one of the most notorious unsolved crimes in the world of Hip-Hop.
