Court documents have now revealed Tupac murder suspect Duane “Keefe D” Davis worked undercover with the police to try and tie Sean “Diddy” Combs in Shakur’s death.
In the 179 pages of court documents, Las Vegas prosecutors lay out how Keefe D was a “confidential police informant” for Los Angeles Police Department detectives investigating the murder of Biggie Smalls and the subsequent slaying of Tupac Shakur.
According to The Sun, which obtained the court documents, Keefe D turned police informant after being arrested for “trafficking a large amount of drugs.”
It was then that he, mistakenly believing he was immune from prosecution, gave police a recorded account of how he was involved with other gang members in the drive-by shooting of Tupac in 1996.
At one point during his time as a police informant, the documents state, “Sean Combs reaches out to Defendant wondering if South Side Crips were responsible for Shakur’s death by asking, ‘Is that us?'”
“[Keefe D] beaming with pride, answers, ‘Yes.'”
Keefe D has been in custody on $750,000 bail since he was arrested in connection to Tupac’s murder in September of 2023. He is scheduled to go to trial in November and is hoping to be freed on bail next week.
In June, someone posted his bond, but a judge denied his release based on the source of the funds, music manager Cash “Wack 100” Jones.
Last year in September, Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo called Keefe D the “on-ground, on-site commander” who “ordered the death” of Tupac Shakur.
In June, retired Los Angeles Police Department detective Greg Kading claimed Diddy ordered a hit on Tupac a few months before he was murdered and offered Keefe D a bounty of $1 million to kill both Shakur and the co-founder of Death Row Records, Suge Knight.
Meanwhile, as Keefe D is being called a “confidential police informant” in court documents, Knight, currently incarcerated in San Diego’s Ronald J. Donovan Correctional Facility, claims Diddy was an FBI informant.
“Everybody in his crew knew about it,” Knight claimed.
