Social media lit up with chatter about possible suspects and motives — touching on an East vs. West coast hip hop beef and gang rivalry that has been previously cited by police.
On Monday, cops seized copies of a book by South Side Compton Crips gang member Duane Keith Davis, 60 — aka Keffe D — the uncle of Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, who police once named as the prime suspect in Shakur’s murder.Paula Clemons in Henderson, Nevada, during the raid, officials said.Getty Images
He wrote that he was riding in a car with the gunman who fired the shots that eventually killed the “All Eyez on Me” rapper as he rode home from a boxing match in Las Vegas on Sept. 7, 1996. The detective cited an “East Coast vs West Coast” rap rivalry between Biggie, who used the Southside Crips as security, and Tupac, who used the Bloods-affiliated gang Mob Piru for protection, as a motive for the murders of both rappers.Anderson, who belonged to South Side Compton Crips, was questioned by police but never charged. He died in an unrelated gang shootout in 1998.
