Keefe D Admits He’s Afraid Of Jail In Resurfaced Interview Following 2Pac Murder Arrest

October 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Keefe D once admitted he was afraid of being jailed for his comments on the murder of 2Pac, months prior to his arrest in the investigation. The clip, which stems from an interview with The Art of Dialogue, has been resurfacing on social media after the latest updates in the case.

When asked about whether Big Dre was the one to pull the trigger in the killing, Keefe D dodged answering. “Them dudes was kids, man. Both of them dudes was kids back then,” he said at the time. “Dre was an All-CIF basketball player. He had a nice shot, dunking, all that shit. Dre was an athlete. He wasn’t about that.” From there, the interviewer pressed Keefe on the question. Getting flustered, Keefe answered: “Man. We don’t need to discuss that. We already discussed that. What are you trying to get me in jail again?”

Keefe D has spoken openly about the killing of 2Pac in interviews with VladTV as well as The Art of Dialogue for years. He also released a memoir titled Compton Street Legend in 2019. In the wake of his arrest, many spoke out to criticize how long it took police to bring him in. Ice-T told AllHipHop that he doesn’t “really understand why it took law enforcement so long,” while arguing that “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.”

Las Vegas police finally arrested Keefe D on September 29. He will appear in court for his arraignment on Wednesday, October 4. Be on the lookout for further updates on the case on HotNewHipHop.

Suge Knight Discusses Keefe D’s Arrest In 2Pac Killing, Says He Won’t Testify

October 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Suge Knight discussed the arrest of Duane “Keefe D” Davis in connection to the killing of 2Pac during an interview with TMZ on Monday. The Death Row Records co-founder explained over the phone that he doesn’t plan on testifying in the investigation. The arrest of Keefe D marks the first time charges have been made in the long-unsolved case.

“Well, surprise, number one,” Suge said of his reaction to the news. “Because I don’t think Keefe D would ever get arrested, nor do I want to see him get arrested. Let’s get one thing straight, first and foremost: me and Keefe D played on the same Pop Warner football team. And whatever circumstances — if he had an involvement with anything, if he didn’t have an involvement with anything, I wouldn’t wish somebody going to prison on my worst enemy.”

Knight went on to confirm that Orlando Anderson, the nephew of Keefe D, was not the shooter. The comments match up with another witness in the investigation who told a Las Vegas grand jury Deandre “Big Dre” Smith shot 2Pac. “There were only two people in the car; ‘Pac’s not gonna tell the story, I ain’t gonna tell the story,” Knight continued. “But I can tell you this: I never had nothing bad to say about Orlando because […] he wasn’t the shooter [..] It wasn’t Anderson, so that’s all I got to say about that part.” From there, he confirmed he won’t testify in the case. “I wouldn’t be. Well, number one, I’m not gonna get on the stand and testify on somebody for what? […] I wouldn’t go, I wouldn’t testify. None of that shit.”

Suge Knight is currently serving a 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter. Keefe D will appear in court on Wednesday, October 4, for his arraignment. Be on the lookout for further updates on the investigation into 2Pac’s murder on HotNewHipHop.

Ice-T Reacts To Keefe D’s Arrest Over 2Pac Murder: “People Talk Too Much”

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ice-T has addressed the arrest of Duane “Keefe D” Davis in connection to the murder of 2Pac. Speaking with AllHipHop, Ice-T explained that he doesn’t understand how it took authorities this long to solve the case. He noted that Keefe D has spoken about the killing in countless interviews over the years.

“My initial thought was ‘people talk too much,’” Ice-T said. “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.

Ice-T continued: “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.”

“He names everybody else in the car,” he added. “And now he’s basically dead—he’s gonna spend the rest of his life in prison all by his own hand. You don’t even need anybody to testify.” Prosecutors claim that Keefe D ordered the hit on 2Pac out of “retribution” for an altercation that occurred earlier in the night. He will appear in court on Wednesday, October 4, for his arraignment.

Dion Lewis Told Cop He’d Spit In His Face Before Getting Arrested: Report

October 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Dion Lewis used to play running back for the New England Patriots, but that’s not why the Super Bowl winner is making headlines these days. Moreover, last week police arrested him at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Florida on September 18. Apparently, he was causing a ruckus at the venue, and security called on the Seminole Police Department to assist them with escorting him out. According to court documents reportedly obtained by TMZ, the Albany, New York native called officers “p***ies” and threatened to spit in their faces before they took him to jail.

Furthermore, officials claim that venue staff instructed him to leave the Hard Rock location, and later took him to the valet. There, they permitted Dion Lewis to call a cab or an Uber to leave and not face any further action from security guards. It seems like that didn’t work out too well, and the filing states that he “became belligerent in front of other casino patrons, calling officers ‘p***ies,’ and advising he was not leaving property because he did nothing wrong.” In addition, that’s when the New York Giant allegedly told a policeman that he’d spit in his face “if he touched him.”

Dion Lewis At A Patriots Press Conference In 2018

Ultimately, authorities were eventually able to get Dion Lewis out of there and to a nearby jail facility. The court charged him with misdemeanor trespassing, which is wholly due to the argument he faced with hotel and casino staff following his supposed unruliness. Still, the 33-year-old’s attorney issues a not guilty plea in his stead earlier this week. Next month, the court will assess this case, and he will have to make a public appearance at it to set the record straight.

Meanwhile, the former tailback has yet to publicly speak on this incident, which we’re sure will tell a different story. Regardless of what really went down in Seminole, it’s reasonable to think that all parties involved will be able to quell this quickly. After all, NFL stars, current or otherwise, paint a decidedly different picture than if it was just some regular gambling pedestrian. With that in mind, stay up to date on HNHH for more news and updates on Dion Lewis.

Flavor Flav On Keefe D Arrest: “God Turned This Guy In”

October 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Flavor Flav has given his reaction to the arrest of Duane “Keefe D” Davis for the murder of Tupac Shakur. “I’m so happy right now that they finally found Tupac’s shooter,” he says. “It was bound to happen one day if he didn’t turn his own self in, because he told on himself. He wrote a book about it and all of this stuff, but if he didn’t do it, I felt the streets would turn him in one day. So I’m so happy that they found him. Because it’s been a minute. It’s definitely been a minute now. You know what I mean? So yeah, God is good, man. God turned this guy in. So glad. So glad,” Flav told PEOPLE.

Furthermore, Flav said that he was so moved by the news because of a deep connection he shared with Pac. “Tupac is the reason why I’m able to stand here and talk to you today. Way back in the day, there was an incident to where I almost committed a murder by accident. Tupac is the one that stopped me from doing it. So thank God for Tupac being in my life. He asked for my autograph. That was crazy. Yeah, I was crazy honored,” Flav added.

Tupac’s Siblings React To Arrest

Furthermore, Tupac’s siblings Mopreme and Set have commented on the arrest. “This is no doubt a pivotal moment. The silence of the past 27 years surrounding this case has spoken loudly in our community. It’s important to me that the world, the country, the justice system, and our people acknowledge the gravity of the passing of this man, my brother, my mother’s son, my father’s son. His life and death matters, and should not go unsolved or unrecognized. So yes, today is a victory but I will reserve judgement until all the facts and legal proceedings are complete. There have been multiple hands involved and there remains so much surrounding the life and death of my brother Tupac and our Shakur family overall. We are seeking real justice, on all fronts,” Set said.

Meanwhile, Mopreme had a more somber response. “The case isn’t closed for me,” Mopreme told TMZ. Furthermore, Mopreme said that hearing the news brought back the trauma of his brother’s murder. Additionally, Mopreme was critical of the behavior of the Las Vegas Police Department. Apparently, the LVPD only recently reached out to Pac’s family about the ongoing investigation. Furthermore, the first person who did reach out this year retired soon after. Mopreme also said that the family was not made aware of the arrest before it happened, meaning it came as a surprise to the family.

Keefe D’s Indictment Claims He Was Seeking “Retribution” Against 2Pac And Suge Knight

September 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday (September 29), Las Vegas police finally made an arrest in the murder of Tupac Shakur. Duane “Keefe D” Davis was taken into custody and charged with murder with a deadly weapon for the 1996 shooting, though he’s not believed to have pulled the trigger. Instead, authorities have gotten him on grounds of aiding or abetting. They believe that he planned the attack, and provided the murder weapon to his nephew.

Now, his indictment has made its way online, courtesy of Meghann Cuniff. She notes that he’s named as having gotten the gun “for the purpose of seeking retribution against Tupac Amaru Shakur and/or Marion Knight aka ‘Suge.’” He’s also listed as committing the alleged crime in order to further the South Side Compton Crips.

Keefe D is currently being held without bail, and is scheduled to be formally arraigned on October 4. Investigators have had their sights set on him for some time. His wife’s home was searched by police earlier in the summer, and they removed various items that they believed could be evidence. Keefe D’s also spoken about the case for years, even claiming himself that he gave his nephew the gun.

Though it’s safe to say that many were glad to see a new development in the case, 2Pac’s sister recently issued a statement revealing that she won’t feel closure until all legal proceedings are carried out. “This is no doubt a pivotal moment,” she explained. “The silence of the past 27 years surrounding this case has spoken loudly in our community. It’s important to me that the world, the country, the justice system, and our people acknowledge the gravity of the passing of this man, my brother, my mother’s son, my father’s son. His life and death matters, and should not go unsolved or unrecognized.” What do you think of police finally making an arrest in 2Pac’s 1996 murder?

Keefe D Mugshot Unveiled By Las Vegas Police After Arrest For Tupac’s Murder

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The hip-hop world received a shock today when Las Vegas police announced that they arrested Duane “Keefe D” Davis, now a prime suspect in the murder of Tupac Shakur 27 years ago. Moreover, that case is among hip-hop’s most debated events, and continues to be a contentious one in no small part thanks to Keefe’s claims. As one of the last living witnesses to the crime, his remarks and statements on it generated much conversation and controversy. Now that authorities charged him with murder of a deadly weapon, though, it seems like all this speculation might see an official conclusion in the eyes of the law.

Furthermore, Nevada officials released Keefe D’s mugshot into the world, and many are reacting to it and this news with shock and skepticism. After all, it’s been so long and such a burnt-out conversation that it feels surreal that Tupac Shakur’s murder might finally see a resolution. “For 27 years the family of Tupac Shakur has been waiting for justice,” stated Sheriff Kevin McMahill, according to reporter Meghann Cuniff. “While I know there’s been many people who did not believe that the murder of Tupac Shakur was important to this police department, I am here to tell you that that was simply not the case.”

In addition, the Las Vegas Police Department believes that Keefe D “orchestrated” the attack, which lines up with his previous testimony that he gave nephew Orlando Anderson to shoot the West Coast rap legend. According to the LVPD, Davis was the “shot-caller” of a large group with intentions to harm ‘Pac. Not only that, but they also relayed suspicion that Davis received the weapon in question from a “close associate” that they would reveal in due time. Also, authorities charged Keefe with intent to promote, further, or assist a criminal organization.

Meanwhile, this ties into Vegas PD’s explanation as to why they charged the 60-year-old even if he didn’t pull the trigger. Given state law in Nevada, officials can charge him with aiding or abetting, as these charges can still apply to criminals who don’t directly commit a crime. Surely in the next few days and weeks, we will learn more of this developing and long-running case. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Keefe D and Tupac Shakur.

According to them, authorities believe that Keefe D “orchestrated” the plan to murder the beloved performer.

They also clarified why Keefe D is charged with murder while he’s not the individual believed to have pulled the trigger on 2Pac. One official explained that in Nevada, along with most states, one can be charged with a crime even if they didn’t commit it directly, for aiding or abetting. Keefe D was also charged with intent to promote, further, or assist a criminal gang.

“For 27 years the family of Tupac Shakur has been waiting for justice,” Sheriff Kevin McMahill also explained at a press conference today. “While I know there’s been many people who did not believe that the murder of Tupac Shakur was important to this police department, I’m here to tell you that is simply not the case.” What do you think of police arresting Keefe D and charging him with murder with a deadly weapon?

Chandler Jones Arrested In Las Vegas Amid Social Media Antics

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Raiders defensive star Chandler Jones is reported to have been arrested on September 29. Jones was arrested by the Vegas Police Department hours after breaking down on a livestream before telling his social media followers that he planned to hit up a strip club. While TMZ was the first to report the arrest, the details remain scarce. However, a police spokesperson did tell the outlet that Jones was detained for violating a protective order.

Before Jones stepped away from social media on Thursday, he had engaged positively with Antonio Brown. “We gotta sit down and have a Kumbaya…call it CTE podcast! I love you too!” Jones wrote on X after AB sent some love his way. Hours earlier, Jones did a dawn livestream out in the Nevada desert. The Raiders defensive star was behaving erratically. He shone a powerful flashlight directly into the camera. Furthermore, he announced that Aaron Hernandez didn’t kill himself in jail before bursting into tears.

— Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) September 29, 2023

Furthermore, Jones’ arrest comes at the end of another bizarre week for him. Earlier this week, Jones claimed that he was hospitalized against his will by the Las Vegas Fire Department. In journal entries posted to X, Jones recounted his ordeal. He claims to have been taken from his open by a group of firemen and injected with an unknown substance in the back of an ambulance. From there, he was taken to Southern Hills Hospital and later transferred to Seven Hills Behavioral Health Hospital. Jones reportedly refused medications and was not told why he had been hospitalized.

Furthermore, Jones alleged that he had called Raiders GM Dave Zeigler “6 to 7 times asking for help and I wondered if he had me put in here, but he never answered.” Jones has claimed that he is simply seeking answers about the behavior exhibited by the Raiders. “I’m still confused on what I did wrong. I’m stuck here, I’m very sane, I’m to strong of a person to be mentally broken.” The Raiders, LVFD, and LVPD all declined to comment on the situation.
