LAS VEGAS (AP) – Las Vegas police have made an arrest for the first time in the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur.
Two people with first-hand knowledge of the arrest who requested anonymity ahead of an expected indictment Friday told The Associated Press that Duane Davis was taken into custody early Friday morning.
Davis is the uncle of the suspected shooter and has long been linked to the investigation.
Shakur was 25 when he was gunned down in a drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip 27 years ago.
The arrest comes more than two months after Las Vegas police searched a home tied to Davis.
