Keefe has given multiple interviews and written a memoir called Compton Street Legend confessing to his role in the shooting of Tupac, and claims he rode in the car and handed nephew Orlando Anderson the murder weapon before he fired the fatal shots that killed the rapper.
If a grand jury decides that the evidence supplied is strong enough for them to suspect Keefe of being criminally guilty in any capacity for Tupac’s death, the case will be able to proceed.
One source said: “The homicide team did not enter into this investigation lightly.”
They knew that the world would be watching if they took any action against Keefe. They do not want to make any missteps.”
One key aspect was building a strong case and file of evidence detailing how Keefe was one of the four suspects in the car, was pivotal in the actual murder, then the destruction of critical evidence.
”Keefe’s own words and comments in his interviews and memoir obviously have him as potential murder suspect. But there is a lot more to the case than simply showing a jury those statements.”
The detectives have been piecing together as much information, evidence and witness statements about Keefe’s role that night and actions afterwards.
Keefe has gloated so much about this that he has effectively talked himself into huge legal trouble.
”They have spent months pulling it together and continue to hunt down corroborating evidence and other possible witnesses for the grand jury.”
Keefe claimed in his memoir that Tupac appeared to be reaching for a weapon before the execution, but his side fired first, essentially killing the rapper.
