WARRINGTON-born Hip Hop journalist Andy Moffatt secured a world-exclusive interview with Chris Carroll, former Las Vegas Metropolitan Police sergeant and the last person murdered rapper Tupac Shakur ever spoke with, during the fast-moving murder case.
It follows the latest major development, with Duane “Keefe D” Davis, aged 60, known as Keefe D, who admitted being involved in the crime in his memoirs, now being arrested and charged with the murder of Tupac, who died in a Las Vegas hospital, six days after he was shot from a white Cadillac while waiting at a stoplight.
Carroll who was the lead officer on the night Tupac was shot and a crucial part of the investigation over the past 27 years. He talks about Keefe D in detail.
Furthermore, he gives his first-hand account of what happened on the evening and details the investigation up to the present day.
Andy, who shared the news with Warrington Worldwide said: “Although I’m over the other side of the world, since 2017, I have been affiliated with Tupac Shakur’s group, The Outlawz. I’m in constant contact with members of Tupac’s family. So I know how much hurt and pain they have gone through for the last 27 years.”
“The arrest of Keefe D is welcomed by fans and family alike. He deserves to pay the price of being involved and from what he has been saying, orchestrating the murder of the greatest hip-hop artist of all time. Maybe now, we can get justice for Tupac Shakur.”
“I myself will continue to hold the flag for the legacy of Tupac Shakur across these waters. I believe young people can learn from Tupac’s poetry, writings and the positive deeds he did that not many people know about.”
Davis’ name was on the list of subjects of interest in the case for more than two decades. It took the arrival of a new sheriff, Kevin McMahill, for the investigation to start moving. The presumed resolution of one of rap’s most famous mysteries was also tied to a publishing development: Davis’s 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend, in which he sought to raise his profile as a street soldier for Los Angeles gangs and their role in the rise of the Death Row Records and the East-West clash that claimed the lives of the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac. The book proved instrumental in the police reviewing the case.
Tupac Amaru Shakur (/ˈtuːpɑːk ʃəˈkʊər/ TOO-pahk shə-KOOR; born Lesane Parish Crooks, June 16, 1971 – September 13, 1996), better known by his stage name 2Pac and later by his alias Makaveli, was an American rapper and actor. Considered one of the most influential rappers of all time, Shakur is among the best-selling music artists, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide. Much of Shakur’s music has been noted for addressing contemporary social issues that plagued inner cities, and he is considered a symbol of activism against inequality.
On September 7, 1996, Shakur was shot four times by an unidentified assailant in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas; he died six days later.
