Now, almost 30 years after his death, the case is finally headed to trial. What makes the case particularly unusual is that Davis himself spent years publicly discussing the events surrounding Shakur’s death. How Davis’s comments revived a cold caseInvestigators had gathered information about the shooting soon after Shakur’s death, but authorities said they did not have enough evidence to bring charges. In 2018, he appeared in the BET documentary series Death Row Chronicles, where he discussed the events surrounding Shakur’s death. Davis is the only person to have been arrested in connection with Shakur’s killing since the rapper’s death in 1996.
