In the summer of 1996, famous rapper Tupac Shapur was shot at an intersection near Las Vegas. 25 days later, the artist succumbed to his injuries in the hospital and died. The music world was rocked by the murder, but for years there has been no resolution to the case.
But last week, 27 years after the event, police arrested and charged a 60-year-old suspect allegedly involved in the crime while he was walking through his neighborhood in the same city of Las Vegas. AND It seems that among the key instruments of this operation there are Apple devices.
Three iPads of the suspect, seized
The defendant is Duane Davis, nicknamed “Keffe D.” At 60 years old, he is the only surviving witness to the shooting, and the district attorney describes him as nothing less than “the commander” who “ordered the death” of Tupac. No details of the case have been revealed as it is still ongoing, but police searched the home of Davis’ wife and among other items An iPhone and three iPads were seized and investigated. There were also external hard drives and the occasional computer.
According to the source, on those devices data would have been found that would have “corroborated” information obtained during the investigation that accused Davis in the crime 27 years ago. Tupac Shakur’s family has welcomed the arrest, according to USA Today, with hopes that the crime will be solved after so long.
Tupac was a great rap figure in his time and became a legend after his untimely death. Today His figure and work continues to be influential on social networks (here your search results on TikTok), so the already probable news of the resolution of his murder case will close a historic chapter in the world of music. Even Obama even mentioned crime during his presidency.
The files from the seized iPhone and iPad could help finally solve a case that has been dormant for decades, although it began to be resurrected in 2018 thanks to comments that Davis himself had made publicly. Tupac was 25 years old at the time he was murdered.
