Police release SWAT video of raid linked to Tupac Shakur murder

New videos show SWAT officers raiding a home outside Las Vegas as investigators inched closer to cracking the infamous cold case murder of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur. 

More than 20 heavily redacted videos, totaling over 12 hours, were obtained by The Associated Press, which edited them down to a 47-second clip.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis, 60, was the target of the July 19 raid, according to a search warrant obtained by Fox News Digital, but it is unclear if he was home at the time. 

"Come out with your hands up and your hands empty!" law enforcement officers were heard yelling in the video, as blue and red lights lit up the otherwise quiet neighborhood in the city of Henderson, which is about 20 miles from the Las Vegas strip.

"Keep walking back and take a step to your left," an officer yells as a dog barks. 

"Face away from me. Face the house and slowly walk back to me. Follow the sound of my voice. You're doing good. Appreciate your cooperation."

The videos did not provide a view into the home or identify the couple, whose faces were blurred, according to The Associated Press. 

The search warrant gave the most insight into what law enforcement searched for and confiscated.

That included a Pokeball USB drive, an iPhone, three iPads (one with a cracked screen), four laptops, a tablet, a desktop computer, several external hard drives, copies of the book "Compton Street Legends," a Vibe magazine about Shakur and two "black tubs" of photos, according to the search warrant.

Police also searched for "notes, writings, ledgers and other handwritten or typed documents" about anything mentioning the murder of Shakur, according to the warrant. 

Davis' nephew, Orlando Anderson, was considered the prime suspect in the rap superstar's 1996 murder. Anderson denied involvement before he was killed in a separate shooting in Compton, California, in 1998.

Public records link the property to Davis and his wife, although it is unclear if he still lives in the same home. One neighbor told the Las Vegas Review-Journal Davis does not live at that address.

Las Vegas court records show there has been an active warrant out for Davis' arrest since July 2022, when he failed to appear in court on a drug charge.

Davis, the self-proclaimed "Compton Kingpin," initially denied any involvement in the Shakur's death but seemingly opened up and recently discussed his involvement in interviews in news articles and documentaries. 

He said he came forward because of a cancer diagnosis in the 2018 documentary "Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G."

Everyone in the car, including Davis, was affiliated with the South Side Compton Crips street gang, and they were looking for Shakur after he brawled with one of the gang members a few hours before his death, Davis said.

They searched for Shakur in the 662 Club in Las Vegas, but he was not there, according to Davis. Then they saw him driving toward the club.

"My partner bust a U," Davis said in the documentary. "When we pulled up, I was in the front seat."

The gunshots rang out from the back seat. Davis never said who actually pulled the trigger. 

"Going to keep it for the code of the streets. It just came from the back seat," he said in the documentary. 

The night of Sept. 7, 1996, Shakur rode shotgun in Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight's black BMW when a white Cadillac pulled up alongside them while they were stopped at a light.

Shakur's murder shook the hip-hop world and remains one of the country's most infamous cold cases.

He was just 25 at the time. His fourth solo record, "All Eyez on Me," was still at the top of the charts with about 5 million copies sold. 

The best lead came in 2018 when Davis broke his silence during an interview for a BET show, where he reportedly implicated his nephew. 

Shakur's murder was even more eerie after his lyrics seemed to foreshadow his early death.

"The fast life ain’t everything they told ya. Never get much older, following the tracks of a soulja," he wrote in his 1991 song "Soulja's Story."

James Carville rages at 'No Labels' for offering 'f---ing bulls--t' to Americans

Democratic strategist James Carville trashed a centrist organization looking to back a third-party candidate for the 2024 presidential elections that critics worry could boost former President Donald Trump’s chances at winning the presidency again.

In an interview with The Hill, the former advisor to Bill Clinton, accused the group "No Labels" of not being transparent with information about its funding and not having a clear message.

In the same interview, Carville also gave his predictions on who would become the Republican nominee for president and touted the strength of the GOP base’s bond with Trump. He also pointed out the other GOP primary candidate he thinks has a "halfway smart message."

LIBERAL MEDIA PANICS OVER POTENTIAL NO LABELS THIRD-PARTY TICKET: 'DEMOCRACY-ENDING'

The interview began with Carville’s harsh words for "No Labels," an organization pushing for a third-party candidate, especially if President Biden and Donald Trump are their party’s respective nominees.

The organization’s website reads, "No Labels is working to ensure Americans have the choice to vote for a presidential ticket that features strong, effective, and honest leaders who will commit to working closely with both parties to find commonsense solutions to America’s biggest problems."

Critics warn that a potential third-party candidate will only serve to detract from Biden's support in the 2024 race and help Trump. Carville ripped No Labels for additional reasons, criticizing its messaging and lack of transparency on where it gets funding.

He said, "No Labels is my favorite. They won’t tell you where their money comes from; they say they’re funded by undisclosed corporate dark money. And they won’t take a position on anything."

He added a sarcastic dig, stating, "But yet they’re offering the American people something new and fresh. That’s a good line of f---ing bull---t there."

The strategist then moved onto the topic of Trump, arguing his legal battles and health could affect the 77-year-old former president's performance.

He said, "First of all, I don’t know how much longer he can live at this rate and this kind of stress."

Carville also predicted that Trump will be the GOP nominee, stating that the Republican base seems to "hate" everyone running against the former president. "If something happened, he’s convicted — I don’t know what — I think they hate everybody in the field, and everybody that’s run against him, in their mind, is aiding and abetting the enemy," he said.

The former Clinton adviser did have praise for another GOP candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy. He said, "The only one with a kind of a halfway smart message is Ramaswamy." Carville even noted his belief that the young investor’s message is "actually more appealing" that Trump’s.

He added, "And his message is kind of, look if something happens to Trump, I’m here for you."

Carville closed out the interview with praise for the talent of the Democratic Party field, noting that in addition to Biden, the party has serious talent. He told the outlet, "So many people, it’s breathtaking. The level of talent in the Democratic Party in 2023 is — and I say this with great conference — is as high as any political party has ever had in my lifetime, which is 1944."

Carville added, "The greatest myth in American politics is — I hear this all the time — ‘Well James, we don’t have any bench.’ Are you s--ting me? We got a bench that’s 100. The whole sideline is our bench."
