2Pac’s Siblings Distrust Cop’s Motives For Investigating Keefe D

Tupac’s siblings, Sekyiwa and Mopreme Shakur, are questioning the cop’s motives for investigating Keefe D. During an interview with TMZ, Pac’s brother and sister spoke out against the Las Vegas Police Department.
Mopreme asserted that he feels the authorities only made a move after seeing his interview with CNN in July 2023. “We don’t know anything about this guy. Everybody get your popcorn because we don’t know anything,” Mopreme said. “And it doesn’t appear that this investigation has been robust in the smallest way.”
Sekyiwa is also skeptical of the police’s intentions, considering the Shakur family’s relationship with law enforcement and the justice system. Pac’s sister also spoke about the significance of the emcee’s death. She added that his death changed everything for the family and hopes that “his death will have some kind of justice.”
In his July 2023 CNN interview, Mopreme echoed his sentiments. He stated that while hopeful, he isn’t impressed with the Las Vegas Police Department’s investigation.
“I’m hopeful, but, honestly, coming from my point of view, the way the system has treated my father, the late, great Dr. Mutulu Shakur, who left us to go with the ancestors July 7, from the way the system has treated my brother, Tupac Amaru Shakur, from the way the system has treated my stepmother, Afeni Shakur, who passed away with a hole in her heart, the late, great Afeni Shakur, I’m not impressed,” he said on air. “I’m not moved. Everybody, get your popcorn. We will see what happens but on top of the fact, it’s been 27 years. So, it doesn’t seem that there’s been a lot of zeal or robust investigation of this case.”
On Aug. 18, 2023, The Sun reported that Duane Keith Keefe D Davis is facing “imminent charges” concerning 2Pac’s murder. Keefe confessed to assisting in shooting the West Coast icon during an interview with VLAD TV, and law enforcement has built a case ready to present to a Las Vegas grand jury. Authorities stated they’re “looking at first-degree murder potentially for Keefe D.” The grand jury hearing will take place in private, with a jury deciding whether or not the evidence found against Keefe is sound enough to prosecute the man in September 2023.
“The homicide team did not enter into this investigation lightly… They knew that the world would be watching if they took any action against Keefe. They do not want to make any missteps,” the outlet reports. “One key aspect was building a strong case and file of evidence detailing how Keefe was one of the four suspects in the car, was pivotal in the actual murder, then the destruction of critical evidence.”
The revelation arrives a month after Las Vegas police raided a home belonging to Paula Clemons, Davis’ wife. NBC News reported that Clark County Judge Jacqueline M. Bluth authorized a warrant to Las Vegas Det. Clifford Mogg to retrieve anything that could tie Davis to the Southside Crips — a Compton street gang.
During the legal search, authorities seized .40-caliber cartridges, computers, photographs from the 1990s, and an issue of VIBE magazine featuring the late rap star. Additional items taken from the property were miscellaneous thumb drives, external hard drives, audio recordings featuring Davis and other unnamed figures, and a copy of Davis’ book, Compton Street Legend.
