Tupac Shakur trial: Jurors hear Duane Davis walk police through the night of the killing

Key Points:

• Duane Davis, accused of orchestrating Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder, had a 2008 police interview played in court that closely matches the story in his 2019 memoir, despite his attorney earlier dismissing his public statements as false.
• In the recording, Davis recounts the events leading to the shooting, including his group's movements after a fight involving his nephew Orlando Anderson and the moments when the shooting occurred, with details about the positions of those involved and the gun’s handling.
• The interview reveals Davis believed Suge Knight was hit during the shooting and describes the group's disposal of the getaway car and gun, with Davis admitting to leaving the gun on the car tire.
• Two key differences between the recording and Davis’ book concern how the gun got into the backseat and who initiated the shooting, with the book suggesting Tupac fired first, while the recording does not confirm this.
• The recording also includes allegations that Sean “Diddy” Combs offered Davis a million dollars to kill Tupac and Knight, a claim for which CNN has sought comment from Combs’ representatives; the trial will continue with more recorded evidence expected.
