June 14, 1963 - Duane "Keefe D" Davis
Decades passed before an arrest was made in one of American music's most consequential unsolved murders. Davis, a self-described gang figure with ties to the South Side Compton Crips, was indicted in 2023 on charges that he orchestrated the 1996 drive-by shooting that killed rapper Tupac Shakur — an allegation fueled in part by Davis's own public statements over the years.
From Wikipedia
On September 7, 1996, at 11:15 p.m. (PDT), Tupac Shakur, a 25-year-old American rapper, was shot in a drive-by shooting in Paradise, Nevada. The shooting occurred when the car carrying Shakur was stopped at a red light at East Flamingo Road and Koval Lane. Shakur was struck by four rounds fired from a .40-caliber Glock 22 pistol: two in the chest, one in the arm, and one in the thigh. The driver, Suge Knight, was grazed by a bullet in the shooting. Shakur died from his injuries six days later, on September 13, 1996.
Orlando Anderson, a Crips gang member, was suspected in the murder but denied being involved and was never charged. He was killed in an unrelated gang shootout in 1998.
