Shakur and Marion "Shuge" Knight, the former CEO of Death Row Records, were affiliated with the Mob Piru gang in Compton, while Davis was affiliated with the Southside Compton Crips, according to Johansson.Members of the Southside Compton Crips, including Davis and his nephew Orlando Anderson, also attended the event.
Both groups left the hotel, with Shakur and his crew headed to a post-fight afterparty at a local nightclub. "At some point in time, as they were in the white Cadillac, Davis took the gun that he had obtained and provided it to the passengers in the rear seat of the vehicle," Johansson said. Johansson said police have long known the outline of events that night, but lacked sufficient evidence to bring the case forward.
"Going to keep it for the code of the streets," Davis said when asked who of the four men in the car was responsible for pulling the trigger.Johansson said officers knew the 2018 refocus on the case was "likely our last time to take a run at this case to successfully solve this case and bring forth a criminal charge."
