Davis, a childhood friend of N.W.A. frontman Eazy-E, claims that he was in the vehicle with the perpetrator when Shakur was shot.[2] Detective Tim Brennan from Compton, California, filed an affidavit naming Davis and his nephew Orlando Anderson as suspects.[3] Anderson was killed in a gang-related shootout in 1998. On September 29, 2023, Davis was arrested and charged in connection with the murder of Shakur.[4][5] Despite being eventually granted a $750,000 bail and house arrest,[6] Davis still remains in jail.[7][8][9] His trial was initially set to begin on June 3, 2024,[10][11] but was later delayed to November 4, 2024.[12][8] An attempt to post bail in June 2024 proved unsuccessful.[7]
