Tupac murder trial set to start Monday; brother of rap icon speaks outNearly 30 years later, the trial for Tupac Shakur's murder finally begins Monday. Davis wrote that he got a gun, hopped in a Cadillac with three others, and drove around looking for the pair. In that interview, Davis said Tupac and Knight had assaulted his nephew Orlando Anderson on the night of September 7, 1996. Still, some details were revealed in Greg Kading's 2011 book "Murder Rap," and portions of it were later played in documentaries. After writing the book, Davis spoke in media interviews, including with VladTV, in which he encouraged people to buy the book.
