In fact, later on, Brad, Suge Knight sat down with ABC News and he was asked about the crimes and homicides and all these various things that he knows about. And he was very, very clear that he doesn't get paid to solve homicides. So what happens next? So you have Tupac has gone down in Vegas. Then a few months later, you have the notorious BIG, Biggie Smalls, who's gone down in Los Angeles.

And so you have the whole culture, the newspapers at the time, radio, TV, everybody's talking about this violent East Coast, West Coast rap war that has broken out. Ultimately, both of these crimes go unsolved into 2000, 2010, 2020. And then finally, something happens. And we don't really at this point know what in 2023, but something has happened. A switch has been flipped.

somehow in Las Vegas, and they are going to go and search the home of an alleged former member of the Crips, who happened to move from LA and was now living outside of Vegas in Henderson, Nevada. They were going to search his home. I have to tell you, when I got the phone call from a source saying that we just searched the home of this guy in connection with Tupac,

I'm like, you have got to be kidding me. You're telling me that you did a... First of all, what could you possibly be searching for? It's all these years ago. It's 1996. Are you saying that somebody's got a bloody t-shirt or something? My source said, we think it's him. They went ahead. They searched the home of Dwayne Davis. A few months later, they ended up arresting him.

A few months later, they ended up arresting him.

And he has been in jail awaiting trial ever since. But who is this guy? So Dwayne Davis, he goes by a street named Keefy D. He was a kid who grew up in Compton, California in Los Angeles. And he disputes that he was ever in the Crips. So police and prosecutors say that he was not only a member of the Crips, but that he was a quote unquote shot caller. He was a big deal.

He was a leader of the gang. And so if he gave an instruction, that was an instruction that had to be followed. Which he denies, but there we go. He denies that he was ever in the Crips. What he doesn't deny is that after having a pretty good athletic career in high school, because of the neighborhood, because of the crime and the gangs and the drugs and everything,

all the various cultural and social ills that we're so familiar with that timeframe in LA, he falls into the drug trade and he winds up becoming a pretty well-established high volume drug dealer in Compton. And he ultimately does go to prison on drug charges. He admits to that and he explains it in a way that's very understandable.

That was basically, there was a lack of a future in that area for him. He actually grew up in Compton, California, and that's where Suge Knight is from. And they ended up being on different sides. In the years since, Suge has been reported to be connected to the Bloods street gang. And Dwayne Davis, Keefy D, who we interviewed, he's reported to have been connected with the Crips street gang.

So Suge and Davis are on opposite sides of the gang wars.

There's a really strange winding road that brings us to how Kifidi winds up in jail and charged with Tupac's homicide. The authorities in Los Angeles in the 2000s are getting to the point where they're taking another crack at trying to solve the homicide of Notorious B.I.G., which occurs in Los Angeles after Tupac. They end up building a drug case against Keith E.D., In the biggie thing.

In the biggie thing. As the story goes, they end up getting him cornered on the drug charges and they give him an out. If you cooperate with us, we will give you a sort of get out of jail free card, kind of an immunity kind of deal. There are a lot of particulars, and there's a lot of fighting over what actually went into this negotiation.
