Las Vegas —

Earlier this week, the defense attorney representing Duane Davis said during opening statements that his client’s public statements were “bullsh*t” — but an interview with police aired in court and Davis’ own memoir seem to tell a remarkably consistent story.

Davis, who is accused of orchestrating Tupac Shakur’s murder during a September 1996 visit to Las Vegas, spent a majority of court Thursday listening to a younger version of himself recount the events leading up to the shooting and the killing itself during a 2008 recorded interview with law enforcement. His version of events in the recording sounds strikingly similar to the account published in Davis’ 2019 memoir, “Compton Street Legend.”

The hours-long interview — part of a proffer agreement related to drug charges — was at times filled with jovial back-and-forth between Davis, his attorney and investigators, with the former South Side Compton Crip recounting some of the highest points of his power and influence.

“Nothing you say today will be used against you,” Greg Kading, who was a Los Angeles Police Department detective, told Davis in the recording.
