Arrest made in 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur

• Duane "Keffe D" Davis was indicted on one count of murder with use of a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang, Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo said Friday in court.
• Authorities said Davis will appear in court next week for a hearing to determine his custody status and to set a jury trial date.

What they're saying: "I know a lot of people have been watching and waiting for this day. Tupac Shakur is a music legend," Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said Friday during a press briefing.

• "And for a long time, this community and worldwide, have been wanting justice for Tupac. Today, we are taking that first step," Wolfson said.

Catch up quick: Authorities in Nevada served a search warrant related to the case in July at the home of Davis' wife.

• Davis, 60, has said both in interviews and in his 2019 memoir that he was in the car from which Shakur was shot.

• Authorities said all other three suspects relating to the investigation are deceased.

Background: Shakur, 25, was shot multiple times on Sept. 7, 1996, in Las Vegas. He died from his injuries a week later.

• In 1996, following Shakur's death, over 20 people were arrested "in connection with shootings that the police said were suspected to be gang-related attacks stemming from" his murder, according to the New York Times.
• Shakur's death, along with the death of his rap rival the Notorious B.I.G. just months later, have sparked many conspiracy theories over the years.
