 The family of Tupac Shakur are 'pleased' that a man has been charged with his murder following his 1996 drive-by shooting, a Las Vegas district attorney said. Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, one of the last living witnesses to the drive-by shooting, was arrested on a walk near his home in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson on Friday. He was then charged by a Nevada grand jury with one count of open murder with use of the deadly weapon with a gang enhancement, according to Clark County Las Vegas district attorney Steve Wolfson. The arrest, the first ever made in a nearly 30-year-long investigation, comes two months after police searched a Las Vegas home in connection to the murder. During a press conference, Wolfson said: 'The family has reached out to my office, I imagine also to (police), we've been in communication with them. 'We understand that they are welcoming this news, they are pleased with this news and they are certainly aware of the return of this indictment.' Shakur was described as a 'musical legend' by Las Vegas attorney (Picture: Getty) He described Shakur as a 'musical legend' before adding: 'For a long time, this community and worldwide have been wanting justice for Tupac. Today we are taking that first step. Tupac was actually quoted as saying 'Death is not the greatest loss in life, the greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive'. Never surrender. Well, we didn't surrender thanks to the great work of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. 'This is the indictment we've been waiting almost three decades for. It spells out the facts and circumstances and what justifies a Clark County grand jury in returning an indictment and justice will be served.' Shakur was 25 when he was gunned down in a drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip on the night of September 7 1996.
