“He [Orlando Anderson] leaned over on the window, we rolled down the window, popped him [Tupac Shakur]. If they was rolling on my side I would have popped them.”
In response to the same, Keefe D, whose real name is Duane Davis, said in the podcast:
“I’m not going into detail on that one, I ain’t no snitch. The street code is the shots came from the back of the white Cadillac.”
According to The Post, Davis confirmed that he was one of the four occupants in the white Cadillac that pulled alongside Tupac’s car before someone inside the vehicle fired at the rapper four times.
At the time of writing this article, the Vlad TV interview clip had amassed nearly a million views. Reacting to the same, one netizen said:

More about Keefe D’s arrest
Duane Davis was indicted by the Nevada grand jury after Marc DiGiacomo, the chief deputy district attorney described Keefe as the “on-ground, on-site commander” and “shot caller” who “ordered the death” of 2Pac.
Greg Kading, a retired LAPD detective who investigated Tupac's death in 2008-2009, said in an interview with The Post that Davis provided his nephew Anderson with a gun to shoot Tupac. He also said:
“Davis gave the gun to his nephew who was in the car with them, and collectively they went out and intended to shoot Tupac. He provided the gun, and his nephew did the shooting, so they are all equally guilty under solicitation of murder.”
Keefe now faces charges of one count of open murder with use of a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement.
