🎤“I’m Innocent!” Man Charged in Tupac’s Murder Makes SHOCKING Prison Confession – Blames Former Cop 🕵️‍♂️💥

Tupac Shakur Murder Suspect Says He's 'Innocent' in First TV Interview

It’s the case that has haunted the music industry for nearly 30 years: the cold-blooded killing of Tupac Shakur in a hail of bullets on a Las Vegas strip in September 1996.

For decades, no arrests were made, no convictions handed down.

The mystery only deepened as rumors of East Coast vs.

West Coast beef, gang rivalries, and record label feuds dominated headlines.

But in 2023, everything changed when authorities finally made their move—charging 61-year-old Dwayne “Keefe D” Davis with orchestrating Tupac’s murder.

Now, in a shocking exclusive with ABC News, Davis has broken his silence—and what he says could blow the case wide open.

“I’m innocent,” he declares from behind bars.

“I ain’t kill nobody.

Never did.

Ever.”

Calm, firm, and defiant, Davis insists he wasn’t even in Las Vegas that night.

“They don’t have no evidence against me,” he adds.

“They can’t put me in Las Vegas.

” According to Davis, he was in Los Angeles—300 miles away—on the night Tupac was ambushed in a drive-by shooting near the Vegas Strip.

But the real twist comes when Davis drops a new name: Reggie Wright Jr.

A former police officer and security director for Death Row Records, Wright was once tasked with protecting none other than Suge Knight—the same Suge Knight who was driving the car Tupac was in when the

shots rang out.

“Their top witness is the lead suspect,” Davis claims, flipping the narrative entirely.

While Wright has publicly denied any involvement and expressed regret over not preventing the tragedy, Davis’s statement now throws serious shade on Wright’s role—and raises massive questions about what

really happened that night.

Prosecutors, however, are standing their ground.

They claim Davis essentially incriminated himself, not only in media interviews but in his own 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend.

In the book, Davis allegedly details the night of the shooting, implying knowledge that only someone involved would know.

One infamous line: “The shots came from the back seat.

” At the time, many interpreted this as Davis finally cracking under the weight of years of silence.

But now, he’s claiming it was all fiction.

“I shouldn’t have said nothing,” he says in the interview.

“I’m innocent, man.”

Even more shocking? Davis now says he didn’t even write the memoir.

According to him, the information was fed to him by police.

He claims he was manipulated, pressured, and exploited—all to push a narrative that would ultimately land him behind bars.

“It was all for money,” he says.

“I was under duress.”

Still, prosecutors remain unmoved.

They have declined to respond directly to Davis’s claims, but say their case is “strong” and they “expect a conviction.

” The trial is set for February, and all eyes are now on what could be one of the most dramatic courtroom showdowns in music history.

Tupac Shakur remains one of the best-selling rap artists of all time, with over 75 million albums sold worldwide.

From California Love to Changes, his music still echoes through generations.

But his legacy has always been shadowed by his brutal and unsolved murder.

Fans have long blamed a toxic mix of rap feuds, gang retaliation, and label politics for his death.

And Dwayne Davis’s arrest seemed, at last, like a step toward justice.

But now, with Davis casting doubt on the case—and accusing another man of being the “real orchestrator”—that path to closure is once again murky.

Online, the reaction has been explosive.

“He’s lying to save himself,” some users argue.

Others believe Davis may actually be telling the truth—and that the real story has been buried beneath decades of hype, fear, and corruption.

“This is deeper than people realize,” one fan tweeted.

“The streets have been talking about Reggie Wright for years.

” Theories are once again spreading like wildfire across Reddit, YouTube, and TikTok, as users dissect every word of the interview and every line of the memoir.

The legacy of Tupac has always been layered—part prophet, part poet, part rebel.

But now, it’s become the center of a legal storm that could redefine what we think we know about that fateful September night.

Davis claims he’s being scapegoated by a system desperate to close a case that never had solid footing.

Prosecutors say he practically confessed.

And somewhere between those two extremes lies the truth.

Whether Davis’s claims will stand up in court remains to be seen.

But one thing is clear: this case is far from closed.

And as the trial looms, the world is watching—not just for justice, but for answers.

If Davis is innocent, as he claims, then who really ordered Tupac’s death? And why has the truth taken nearly three decades to emerge?

“I’m being held against my will,” Davis says at the end of his interview.

“I’m supposed to be out there enjoying my twilight.

God got my back, and God will see me through this.

” It’s a bold final word from a man who might be telling the truth—or spinning the most desperate defense of his life.

Either way, the ghost of Tupac Shakur just got a little louder.
