According to a new report, confidential documents from the Notorious BIG murder investigation recently submitted to prosecutors in the Tupac Shakur case link prominent individuals in the 1990s music scene to the two rappers’ cases.
These unreleased files, found by former Los Angeles detectives, are playing a key role in the investigation into Tupac’s 1996 murder in Las Vegas.
According to The US Sun, former Los Angeles police officers have been diligently searching through the archives of the Biggie Smalls investigation to gather evidence that could be used to build a case against former gangster Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who is accused of orchestrating Tupac’s assassination.
A law enforcement source in Vegas who spoke on condition of anonymity said the newly discovered records are believed to have further bolstered Las Vegas prosecutors’ case against Keefe D.
The source claims that files from the Biggie investigation that were turned over to prosecutors in the Tupac case are said to include allegations against “some of the biggest names in music in the 1990s”.
Last month, Clark County Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo revealed in court that the documents contained testimony from late 1997, stating that a key witness had criticized Keefe D before he worked with law enforcement or the press.
The source added, “The prosecution team is working on the largest dossier of evidence ever related to the Tupac murder, including paperwork that may never be made public.”
The documents are said to contain details of Keefe D’s criminal history, witness statements and other evidence vital to the current investigation.
They added, “The crime was committed in Vegas, but the repercussions of what happened in Compton were felt throughout the gangs of both Keefe’s Crips and their rivals, the Piru Mob.”

Information from the records shows that although California law enforcement was well aware of the activities and locations of the criminal organization involved in Tupac’s murder, significant legal action was not taken until more recent developments.
Continued cooperation between multiple law enforcement agencies has significantly expanded the evidence available for court proceedings.
Legal experts believe Keefe D’s defense team will have significant difficulty refuting the prosecution’s evidence.
His trial — set for November — is expected to include testimony from former law enforcement officials and experts, aimed at shedding light on Keefe D’s alleged criminal activities and the broader implications of the ongoing murder investigations.
