In his memoir, Compton Street Legend, Davis wrote that he and a group of other men targeted Shakur and his entourage, seeking retribution for the scuffle with his nephew.

While Davis was never accused of actually firing the shots that killed Shakur - Nevada law allows someone to be charged with murder as a participant in the crime - prosecutors have never named a suspected gunman.
