drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur, 27 years after the rapper’s death.Duane “Keffe D” Davis was arrested early Friday morning and sources tell The Post he will face a charge of conspiracy to commit murder.Davis had been very public about being a witness to the shooting of Tupac, then 25, and hip hop mogul Marion “Suge” Knight on the Las Vegas strip in September 1996.Davis said he was one of four occupants of a white Cadillac that pulled alongside the rapper’s car, rolled down its windows, and shot, hitting Tupac four times.In his memoir “Compton Street Legends,” Davis identified his nephew, Orlando Anderson, as the one who fatally shot Tupac.

Anderson, who was a member of the South Side Compton Crips gang, died as the result of another gangland shooting in 1998 aged 23.Anderson denied involvement in Shakur’s murder and was never charged.

However, Nevada does not have a statute of limitations on prosecuting murder cases and the case of the “California Love” rapper’s shooting has always been open.In July this year Las Vegas police served a search warrant at the Henderson, Nevada, home of Davis’ wife, Pamela Clemons, as part of Shakur’s homicide investigation.Cops confiscated several computers, laptops and iPads from the home, as well as the .40 caliber cartridge — of which many of the same type of casings were recovered from the scene where Shakur was shot, according to a search warrant.Greg Kading, a retired LAPD detective who had investigated Tupac’s death told The Post Friday: “Davis provided the gun and he actively sought out Tupac with his nephew.“Davis gave the gun to his nephew, who was in the car with them, and collectively, they went out and intended to shoot Tupac.
