Las Vegas – Recently released footage from police body cameras captures the arrest of Duane "Keffe D" Davis on suspicion of murder in connection with the 1996 shooting of Tupac Shakur near the Las Vegas Strip. On the morning of September 29, 60-year-old Davis was approached by officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department while walking near his home in the Henderson suburb. The officers, identifying themselves as Metro Police, called out to Davis, who was on the opposite side of the street. "Hey Keffe, Metro Police. Come over here," the officer said. Cooperating with the officers, Davis, holding a water bottle, was handcuffed. The ensuing conversation between Davis and the officers primarily revolved around his request for water. While being transported on a freeway, Davis, though not visible in the video, is heard questioning an officer about potential surveillance the previous night. The officer responded negatively. Davis then asked, "So why you all didn't bring the media?" The officer inquired about the reason for involving the media, to which Davis replied, "That's what you all do." Later, while parked and not visible on camera, an off-screen voice asked Davis, "So what they got you for, man?" "Biggest case in Las Vegas history," Davis asserted. When asked if it was recent, he added, "September 7th, 1996," the night Shakur, then 25, was fatally shot. Authorities claim that Davis orchestrated the killing of the hip-hop icon and provided his nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, with the gun to carry out the act. Anderson, who denied involvement in Shakur's killing, passed away in 1998. Davis had long been a suspected figure in the case and publicly admitted his role in the killing in interviews leading up to the release of his 2019 tell-all memoir, "Compton Street Legend." In mid-July, Las Vegas police executed a raid on Davis' home, bringing renewed attention to one of hip-hop music's enduring mysteries. Davis' initial court appearance this week was cut short when he requested a postponement to secure legal representation. His next court appearance is scheduled for October 19.

A structure fire in the east valley of Las Vegas resulted in one person being hospitalized, as reported by the Clark County Fire Department (CCFD). Responding to multiple calls around 7 p.m., the incident occurred in the 1000 block of Sierra Vista Drive, near Desert Inn Road and Maryland Parkway. The fire, initially reported in an abandoned building with potential occupants, prompted CCFD to initiate ground operations for an offensive attack.

In a Friday afternoon press briefing in Las Vegas, additional details emerged regarding the arrest of a suspect in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, shedding light on a case that has spanned nearly three decades. District Attorney Steve Wolfson, emphasizing the urgency of justice, quoted the maxim "justice delayed is justice denied" but swiftly added a personal amendment, declaring, "Not in this case." He disclosed that a Nevada grand jury had indicted Duane "Keefe D" Davis for the murder during a court session earlier that day. Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo characterized Davis as the "on-ground, on-site commander" responsible for "ordering the death" of Shakur. Sheriff Kevin McMahill presented a timeline of the investigation, reaching back to the Mike Tyson prize fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, setting the stage for Shakur's shooting later that night in September 1996. He clarified that individuals involved were linked to Southern California gangs. The briefing included security footage showing a group attacking a man near hotel elevators on Sept. 7, 1996. McMahill described the murder as a "retaliatory shooting" stemming from a prior fight, emphasizing that investigators lacked crucial evidence for years. Contrary to public perception, McMahill stressed the case's ongoing importance to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The Sheriff acknowledged that progress resumed in 2018 following admissions by Davis, characterizing the subsequent years as a "systematic plan" involving numerous interviews. McMahill underscored that murder has no statute of limitations and revealed that Davis's admissions led to a search warrant executed earlier in the year, with evidence corroborating investigative findings. District Attorney Wolfson, before concluding, cited a Shakur lyric about refusing surrender, commending investigators for upholding that spirit over 27 years. Homicide Lt. Jason Johansson hinted at revelations during the trial, asserting, "There's a lot that's going to come out." Wolfson brandished the unsealed indictment, announcing that Davis faces a murder charge with a deadly weapon and a gang enhancement. The document stated that Davis's gang, the South Side Compton Crips, engaged in felonious activities beyond the primary offense, with specific intent to promote the gang's activities in Shakur's killing.

The Clark County Educators Association (CCEA) has taken legal action in response to an injunction aimed at halting "rolling sickouts." On Thursday, they filed an appeal with the Nevada Supreme Court, challenging the injunction. This injunction represents just one episode in the ongoing negotiations between the Clark County School District (CCSD) and CCEA regarding their contractual agreements. The day before, the court had granted the district's request to put an end to teacher "sickouts" that had led to the closure of several schools due to staff shortages. On Thursday, CCEA submitted an emergency motion for a stay under the Nevada Rules of Appellate Procedure in response to the injunction regarding the rolling sickouts. In their filing, CCEA contends that the injunction is fundamentally flawed due to its lack of clarity, specificity, and excessive scope. They argue that the order fails to provide any rationale for its issuance or define specific terms. Furthermore, CCEA asserts that during the negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement between the district and the union, there have indeed been instances of teacher absences due to illness, which occasionally resulted in school closures. However, they dispute whether the named defendants, including the union and all 18,000 public school teachers, can be held accountable for actions for which there is no evidence of responsibility. The filing points out that both CCSD and the district court have acknowledged the absence of direct evidence supporting allegations of prohibited conduct by the appellants. As of now, there is no scheduled date for a future hearing on this case before the Nevada Supreme Court.

Self-help author Marianne Williamson has taken another daring step into the realm of presidential politics, launching a new campaign for the presidency in the 2024 election cycle. Despite her previous 2020 White House bid, which was characterized by unconventional spiritual healing appeals but limited voter support, Williamson is entering the race as the first Democrat to officially challenge the sitting President, Joe Biden. At a campaign stop in the nation's entertainment capital that drew a crowd of over 100 people, Williamson expressed her concerns about the state of the country. She emphasized the need to create a powerful vision of justice and love that could counter the forces of hatred and injustice, striving to make a lasting impact. Williamson's campaign carries echoes of her previous run in 2020, where she garnered attention for her proposal to create a Department of Peace and her call for financial reparations for Black Americans as a form of atonement. While her 2020 campaign eventually ended, she left an impression with her assertion that love can be harnessed for political purposes. In contrast to the unified Democratic support for Biden, Williamson plans to campaign in early-voting states, including New Hampshire, which has considered defying a Biden-backed plan by the Democratic National Committee that prioritizes South Carolina as the lead-off state for the nominating contests. The potential embarrassment for Biden if a rival wins the unsanctioned primary in New Hampshire, even if that challenger has no realistic chance of becoming the nominee, underscores the complexities of the political landscape. In a defiant tone, Williamson criticized those who underestimate her candidacy, proclaiming, "Let me in there." She noted her prior run for president and highlighted the forces that often prevent outsider voices from entering the political conversation, suggesting that only those with ties to the existing system are considered qualified to lead the nation out of its challenges. Williamson's supporters at the announcement event resonated with her message. Young individuals like Luke Stowell and Ivan Claudio expressed their admiration for her approach, seeing her as a candidate who addresses social structures that inhibit people on a daily basis and as a voice of concern about Biden's potential age-related issues. While Biden, the oldest president in U.S. history, may be considering a second term, many Americans, including Democrats, express reservations about him running again, according to polls. The president's political advisers appear confident about the Democratic primary but are focused on a potential general election rematch against figures like Donald Trump or another Republican nominee championing the "Make America Great Again" movement. Although Williamson didn't mention Biden by name in her speech, she acknowledged the impact of Trump's absence from the 2020 elections, suggesting that the country narrowly escaped a precipice. She likened the situation to being "six inches" away from a significant setback, indicating her view that the nation still faces significant challenges. The Democratic establishment, along with potential presidential contenders who could have challenged Biden from different perspectives, is firmly aligned with the current president, highlighting the smooth path that is likely to lead to his nomination. Even if other Democrats enter the race following Williamson's lead, the party doesn't intend to hold primary debates, further illustrating the formidable support behind Biden. Williamson's background includes a Texas upbringing and a current residence in Beverly Hills, California. She is a prolific author with over a dozen books to her name and previously ran an unsuccessful independent congressional campaign in California in 2014. During her 2020 campaign, she advocated for creating a Department of Peace and advocated for financial reparations for Black Americans to address the historical injustices of slavery and discrimination. While her 2020 campaign had memorable moments, including a call for a "moral uprising," Williamson suspended her candidacy before the leadoff Iowa caucuses began. This time, she acknowledges that the nation faces numerous challenges that no single person or president can fix entirely. However, she emphasizes the importance of a president who "tells it like it is," implying that such honesty could make a significant positive impact. During the event, Williamson engaged with the audience, responding to a range of inquiries, some of which carried a strong emotional charge. One notable moment involved a supporter who, visibly moved, shared a personal story while in a wheelchair, evoking tears from fellow attendees. This impassioned plea urged Williamson to take action and advocate for assistance and support for individuals with disabilities. As she embarks on this new journey, Williamson's campaign represents more than a personal challenge to Biden. It serves as a challenge to the system itself, disrupting the established norms and presenting an alternative perspective. Her passion for addressing economic inequality and her belief in the potential for a brighter future set the stage for a unique and compelling contribution to the ongoing dialogue about the country's direction.
