Diddy is named 77 times in Tupac Shakur murder documents after gangster Duane ‘Keefe D’ Davis accused him of paying $1million for the hit.
The former LA gang leader accused of murdering Tupac Shakur previously alleged that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs offered him $1million to assassinate the rapper, it has emerged.
Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis, 61, is accused of orchestrating a drive-by shooting that killed Shakur in 1996 in Las Vegas. He has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.Davis – the only person still alive who was in the vehicle from which shots were fired and the only person ever to be charged with a crime in the case – has been held in a Las Vegas jail since his arrest last September and has filed a request for reconsideration of bail.
But Clark County prosecutors this month filed an opposition to the request, arguing that Davis should remain jailed because he previously implicated Combs, 54, in Shakur’s murder.
Citing a 2009 interview with Las Vegas police, prosecutors alleged Davis ‘suggested’ that Combs paid ‘Eric Von Martin a million dollars for the killings’ and ‘offered to set up a surreptitious phone call’ with driver Terrance Bown, according to the July 18 court filing which was obtained by Fox 5.
Combs, who is mentioned 77 times in the nearly 180-page court documents, has never been a suspect in Shakur’s killing. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that he still is not considered a suspect in the case.
