Tupac Shakur’s Killer ‘No Longer With Us,’ Digital Underground’s Money-B Says
Money-B says he knows who shot Tupac Shakur, and that the alleged killer will never see justice.
The Digital Underground member and friend of Tupac, whose real name is Ronald Brooks, spoke with NewsNation’s Jesse Weber as jury selection in the murder trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, got underway this week.
Money-B has a theory about Tupac Shakur’s murder
Davis is charged with orchestrating Tupac’s death in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in 1996. However, he’s not believed to have been the person who actually pulled the trigger. That person has since died, Money-B said.
“My personal belief, and the streets have talked for many years, is that the person who pulled the trigger is no longer with us, right?” he said. “Keffe D admitted that he was in the car with his nephew and others. So we have that story. But I also believe that there were … other people and possibly other agencies involved in the killing of Tupac and allowing for the people who actually killed him to escape.”
“I’ve always heard that it was Orlando Anderson [who pulled the trigger],” he continued, referring to Keffe D’s nephew. “I don’t know … this is what I’ve heard and this is the story that’s been going on.”
Keffe D goes on trial for Tupac Shakur’s murder
Anderson, a Los Angeles gang member, has long been suspected of being the gunman who killed Tupac. He died in an unrelated shooting in 1998. But before his death, Anderson reportedly bragged about his role in Tupac’s death.
“We were told that Orlando came back and started to brag about it,” retired Compton Gang Unit Officer Robert Ladd told DJ Vlad in 2024.
“Everyone’s telling us, ‘Orlando’s coming back, he’s bragging about killing them.’ You know, rightfully so, probably,” he added. “But this is within his own gang. So then the word spread and people start calling us.”
Eventually, Davis started talking as well. Over he years, he’s spoken frequently about his role in Tupac’s death, including in his memoir Compton Street Legend. In that book, he describes deciding to move against the Grammy-nominated rapper following a fight at a casino earlier that evening. But Davis, who has pleaded not guilty in the murder case, now says that those stories were made up by the book’s ghostwriter. (The two other people who were in the car with Davis and Anderson on the night of Shakur’s death have since died, making corroborating his account difficult.)
“I didn’t write that book,” Keffe D told Fox5 Las Vegas. “That dude just put that stuff in there.”
