Jurors heard Duane “Keffe D” Davis tell detectives in 2008 that his nephew
Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson fired the shots that killed Tupac Shakur.

Davis' interview was played Thursday at a trial over the 1996 killing.

Davis, who said in the interview that he was in the car with Anderson, is
accused of orchestrating the drive-by shooting of the 25-year-old hip-hop
superstar.

The interview is essential evidence in the case against Davis.

Prosecutors told jurors that they would lean heavily on Davis’ own admissions
in interviews with police and on podcasts, as well as in the 2019 memoir he
co-wrote, “Compton Street Legend.”

They allege Shakur was killed to avenge Shakur’s entourage attacking
Anderson a few hours earlier after a Mike Tyson fight.

Davis was at the fight but not the brawl.

He has pleaded not guilty.

Shakur remains a cultural icon, and one of the most influential and versatile
rappers of all time.
