Police have reportedly responded to a shooting outside the Las Vegas courthouse where a trial is underway in the decades-old Tupac Shakur murder case.

According to PEOPLE—which was on the scene—following testimony, the courtroom was dismissed for a lunch break. Members of Tupac’s family had been present. Shortly after they addressed the press and drove away, a shooting was reported at a nearby business.

Local news outlet KLAS reported that dispatchers told officers the apparent gunshots came from a Starbucks. This prompted a heavy police response, considering the sensitive nature of the trial.

Per PEOPLE, officers stated they were unable to locate a victim or confirm a shooting scene. “From what I know, there was no one critically injured, at least at the moment,” a police source stated. “But there was some type of shooting incident.”

Duane “Keffe D” Davis has been charged with Tupac Shakur’s murder

Inside the courtroom, testimony was heard on the case of Tupac’s 199 murder. The trial kicked off on Monday (Aug. 18, 2026), with Duane “Keffe D” Davis, 63, charged in the iconic rapper’s death.

Prosecutors allege that Tupac’s killing was carried out as revenge. Hours before the shooting, the rapper’s entourage allegedly attacked Davis’ nephew Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson at the MGM Grand following a Mike Tyson boxing match.

On Aug. 18, jurors were shown surveillance video from the casino. While panning, the camera captured footage of a group of people beating up someone on the ground. Footage also showed Shakur and his entourage hurriedly moving about the facility afterward.

Eventually, the cameras captured security and police arriving and speaking to Anderson, who was wearing a Miami Dolphins jersey at the time.

Davis is not accused of pulling the trigger in Tupac’s murder

Tragically, Shakur was murdered hours later while riding in a black BMW with hip-hop mogul Marion “Suge” Knight. Reportedly, a white Cadillac carrying Davis, Anderson, and two other men pulled up and opened fire, killing Tupac in the shootout.

However, Davis is not accused of firing a weapon that took the rapper’s life.

Interestingly, in a 2025 motion, Davis’ lawyers sought to have the case against him dismissed. They cited a 27-year delay in prosecution, as well as a failure to honor immunity agreements they claim undermined “the criminal justice system’s integrity.”

“The prosecution has failed to justify a decades-long delay that has irreversibly prejudiced my client,” Attorney Carl Arnold said in a statement at the time. “Moreover, the failure to honor immunity agreements undermines the criminal justice system’s integrity and seriously questions this prosecution.”

That motion was denied.
