POLICE detectives are hunting for “trophies” connected to the murder of iconic rapper Tupac Shakur at a well known gangster's address, sources have claimed.
In the latest twist in the unsolved murder case, homicide officers were granted a warrant by a judge to search a home in Henderson, Las Vegas, which sources told The US Sun is connected to Compton Crip gang leader Keefe D.
Keefe, 60, - real name Duane Davis - has previously confessed to his role in the shooting of Tupac in interviews and in a book called Compton Street Legend, claiming he was in the front of the car when his nephew Orlando Anderson shot Tupac near the Vegas strip on September 7, 1996.
Las Vegas 8 News has also reported that the warrant Tupac detectives used to search an address at 10pm on Monday night involved Keefe, who is believed to live in Henderson.
Sources allege that detectives believe that there could be evidence dating back to the night Tupac was gunned down while driving with Suge Knight hidden at the address.
The Glock revolver gun, which fired the deadly bullets, has never been found.

And despite a quarter of a century hunt for the White Cadillac car, which carried the four men hunting Tupac, that night it vanished without a trace.
The source said: “This warrant has been brewing for a long time. The detectives have felt that they had reasonable cause to examine just what may be left over from that night.
"It is normal in the ‘streets’ for gangsters to keep trophies or items linked to their biggest moments. Nothing comes bigger than Tupac’s murder, so there may be items kept in the home which were relevant.
“Certainly if the gun were to be there then it would be a huge deal. Even a shell casing could be significant.

"No-one quite knows what is out there from the murder, because it has been over 25 years."
When asked about Keefe D and a "trophy" being the subjects of the search, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told The US Sun: "LVMPD can confirm a search warrant was served in Henderson, Nevada on July 17, 2023, as part of the ongoing Tupac Shakur homicide investigation.
"We will have no further comment at this time."
The U.S. Sun reached out to Keefe D last night but received no reply.
Earlier this year, Keefe D bragged that he would not care if he had to go to jail over Tupac's murder.
“Whatever life has got in store for me I’m going to handle it dude. I’m a God-fearing man, whatever cards life I’ve got to deal with I’m going to handle," he told YouTube channel Vlad TV.
“I’m not going to go out there and cut my wrists or kill myself or nothing like that.
“If they want to go put me in jail for life, that’s just something I’ve got to do dude.
“You know what I’m saying? It’s not like I’m scared of jail or nothing.”
The gangster also made a bombshell claim in which he alleges that FBI agents told him that a $1million fee for the iconic rapper's assassination was paid by another famous hip hop star, then stolen by a middleman.
Following the admissions, a source close to the investigation accused Las Vegas cops of ignoring evidence, saying that despite the latest admission from Keefe, detectives were not following up with FBI agents and had not brought Keefe in for questioning.
The U.S. Sun sent a link to Keefe D's interview to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department back in May.
They responded by saying: "The investigation into the murder of Tupac Shakur is still an open homicide investigation.
