Tupac's Family Sues Over Murder, Seeking More Answers

0:00On April 29th, Tupac Shakur's family just filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Duane Kief D. Davis, the man charged in the rapper's murder. They're seeking unspecified damages and claiming the killing back in 1996 wasn't just payback from a casino fight, but part of a larger. Plot with more people involved. Davis, uncle to the guy Tupac beat down at the MGM grand that night, got arrested last year as the main suspect. He's the former crypt's leader, who admitted being in the white Cadillac that pulled up and fired four shots into Tupac's car. He pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and his trials set for August after some delays. The family, led by Tupac's brother Maurice, as a state admin, wants to dig deeper nearly 30 years later. They point to evidence from grand jury stuff and a recent Netflix doc that hints at a bigger web of players beyond the street beef. The doc touches on claims Davis made in old interviews, like Sean Combs offering one million dollars for the hit, though Combs denies any role and calls it all nonsense.

1:03Davis already copped to being there in a plea deal years back, but now he's fighting evidence from a search. With Davis's case moving forward separate from this suit, Tupac's people are pushing for full truth on who else might have been in the mix, keeping the mystery alive decades on.
