Investigators in Las Vegas are going back in time in an effort to find evidence linking murder suspect Keefe D to the killing of iconic rapper Tupac Shakur, according to sources close to the investigation. The Clark County District Attorney has dispatched teams to retrace Keefe’s steps on the night of September 7, 1996, when Tupac was gunned down in a drive-by shooting near the Strip.
A special team of investigators is meticulously piecing together all evidence, potential witness statements, and surveillance footage from that fateful night. This renewed effort has already yielded fresh leads and opportunities to speak with potential new witnesses, some of whom have never come forward to police before.
The investigation is said to be more extensive than the original homicide case investigation conducted by the Las Vegas Metro Police in the weeks following Tupac’s assassination. Detectives have been working closely with hotels’ security and front office departments to confirm Keefe’s presence in Sin City.
Despite Keefe’s repeated claims of innocence and his lawyer’s insistence that he was not in Vegas on the night of the shooting, prosecutors are determined to locate evidence that debunks his alibi. The painstaking process of combing through old paperwork, guest booking records, and receipts from various establishments is ongoing.
The prosecution’s case hinges on establishing concrete evidence of Keefe’s whereabouts on the night Tupac was killed. This has led investigators to revisit the Monte Carlo Hotel where Keefe claimed to have stayed before and after the shooting. Surveillance footage from the 1990s is scarce, but efforts to locate any existing footage are ongoing.
Recent reports suggest that ’90s rapper Foxy Brown may be a key witness in the upcoming trial. Prosecutors are eager to have her testimony to refute Keefe’s defense that he was not present in Vegas on the night of Tupac’s murder. Foxy’s evidence could potentially derail Keefe’s claims of innocence and shed new light on the events leading to the rapper’s tragic death.
As the investigation continues to uncover new evidence and potential witnesses, the upcoming trial in November promises to be a pivotal moment in the decades-long quest for justice in Tupac Shakur’s murder case. The legal battle ahead will determine whether Keefe D will finally be held accountable for his alleged role in the iconic rapper’s untimely death.
