Suspect accused of killing Tupac Shakur pleads not guilty in Las Vegas court

The 60-year-old man charged with the killing of rapper Tupac Shakur pleaded not guilty in Las Vegas court Thursday.

After Davis told Judge Tierra Jones he was not able to retain local counsel, Jones said the court would appoint an attorney to represent him. This was Davis’ third scheduled arraignment. The previous two were delayed at Davis’ request, so he could look for an attorney. Shakur’s slaying was the subject of a decadeslong investigation by police that culminated last month with Davis’ arrest following his indictment by a grand jury. He is the only suspect in the case still alive, police said.For years, Davis has placed himself at the scene of the crime, stating publicly he was in the front seat of a white Cadillac when it pulled up alongside Shakur’s car and shots were fired from the back seat. Shakur was shot four times and died six days later.

At the time of the fatal shooting, Shakur was in Las Vegas to see Mike Tyson box at the MGM Grand Hotel, an event that also was attended by Davis and his nephew. While leaving the fight, members of Death Row Records kicked and punched Anderson near an elevator bank inside the MGM Grand, Johansson said, playing surveillance footage that showed Shakur and Knight among the participants.

Then, someone pulled the trigger – though the indictment doesn’t say who. Either way, Davis “was the shot-caller for this group of individuals that committed this crime,” Johansson said. “He orchestrated the plan that was carried out to commit this crime.
