In a news conference after the arrest, Sheriff Kevin McMahill said that the investigation was “far from over,” according to CNN. Lieutenant Jason Johansson of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police gave an explanation of how people saw Keffe D’s role at the news conference. He spoke:
“I think the best way to characterize that is Duane Davis was the shot caller for this group of individuals that committed this crime and he orchestrated the plan that was carried out to commit this crime,”
In a 2002 Los Angeles Times article, the South Side Compton Crips gang was mentioned as a possible suspect in Tupac’s death. Duane claimed to be a member of that group. A warrant for an inquiry into Duane’s residence had been issued in July 2023, alleging that he was connected to the gang.
