Tupac – Former Gang Member Names Possible Murderer

New details about who allegedly murdered Tupac Shakur have come forward, but the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) are still calling Shakur’s case an open homicide. During the airing of BET’s Special, Death Row Chronicles, reportedly former gang member, Keffe D., spoke about possibly knowing who fired those four shots off into Shakur September 7th, 1996.

When asked to reveal the identity, Keffe would not do so, but according to reports, he didn’t deny his late nephew, Orlando Anderson, could have been the possible murderer. Keffe also says the shots allegedly came from the back of the car Shakur was riding inside of, which is also where Anderson and a friend were seated. Before Anderson passed away in 1998, he denied he pulled the trigger. Keffe said the reason he came forward was because,

People have been pursuing me for 20 years. I’m coming out now because I have cancer, and I have nothing else to lose. All I care about now is the truth.

Since the revealing of this new information, the LVMPD have released a statement in regards to the case,

We are aware of the statements made in a BET interview regarding the Tupac case. As a result of those statements, we have spent the last several months reviewing the case in its entirety. Various reports that an arrest warrant is about to be submitted are inaccurate. This case still remains an open homicide case.
