Davis has changed his story over the years about his involvement in Shakur’s murder.
During a 2019 appearance on BET’s show Death Row Chronicles, the former gang leader claimed to have been in the vehicle but refused to name who pulled the trigger.
“Going to keep it for the code of the streets. Just came from the backseat, bro,” he proclaimed.
The shooting was allegedly in retaliation for Shakur and members of his entourage beating Davis’ nephew inside the Las Vegas MGM Grand shortly before the ambush.
The former South Side Compton Crips leader was the alleged “shot caller” who directed the attack.
In his 2019 memoir Compton Street Legend, Davis wrote that he was sitting in the front passenger seat when “I tossed the Glock into the backseat.”
“Tupac made an erratic move and began to reach down beneath his seat,” Davis continued. “It was the first and only time in my life that I could relate to the police command, ‘Keep your hands where I can see them.’ Instead, Pac pulled out a strap, and that’s when the fireworks started. One of my guys from the back seat grabbed the Glock and started bustin’ back.”
Davis declared to ABC News in a 2024 jailhouse interview, “I’m innocent,” while calling himself a “good man.”
