Los Angeles' source for breaking news and live streaming video online. Covering Los Angeles, Orange County and all of the greater Southern California area.
Video shows the moment Las Vegas police arrested Duane "Keefe D" Davis, the self-described gangster arrested in the shooting death of rapper Tupac Shakur.
"We lost two giants senselessly," rapper Fat Joe told CNN. "That's what bothers me when it comes to Biggie and Pac. We lost two giants over nothing." But Shakur's death reverberated well beyond the borders of Nevada and foreshadowed that of Wallace. The question now is when, or if, an arrest will be made in connection to the death of Wallace.The murders of the two influential rappers who started as friends and later became rivals have always been culturally connected, because of both the time period and the circumstances.
The pair were also at the center of the "East Coast vs. West Coast" rap beef in the 1990s after Shakur, a West Coast-based artist, became convinced that Wallace, who was from Brooklyn, helped set him up to be shot five times in a Manhattan recording studio in 1994. Wallace denied any involvement and was never charged in connection to the crime.
Coker said he was supposed to be in the entourage traveling with Wallace when he was killed, but the rapper failed to call him back to connect. Shakur's and Wallace's deaths are linked "by both history and emotion," Coker said, and have come to reverberate all the more in the years that have passed. "Basically the life that he described was being a soccer dad in Atlanta," Coker said. "He just wanted to give his daughter away at her wedding, play with his kids and he wanted to build a house in Atlanta.
