LAS VEGAS — SHAKUR, The arrest of a couple by Las Vegas SWAT personnel during a nighttime house raid in July in connection with the unsolved murder of rapper Tupac Shakur was caught on police lapel cameras.

The pair’s faces were obscured as the cops shouted orders to “come out with your hands up and your hands empty!” in the 24 heavily censored recordings The Associated Press received on Thursday. The films do not look for the residence or identify the couple.

However, according to a copy of the search warrant, investigators were looking for information “concerning the murder” of Shakur from Duane “Keffe D” Davis, one of the few living witnesses to a tragedy that has captivated the public for years.

The probe is being kept under wraps by the authorities. They haven’t provided any details about the long-abandoned case, including why they got a warrant today to take goods from a man known to detectives, beyond a terse statement issued last month confirming their raid in the adjacent city of Henderson.

The uncle of one of Shakur’s well-known enemies, Davis, a self-described “gangster” now 60 years old, was initially thought to be a suspect in the police probe.

Las Vegas SWAT personnel arrested a couple during a nighttime house raid in July in connection with the unsolved murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.

The couple could be seen leaving the garage with a spotlight on them in the recently made public videos after a SWAT officer continuously proclaimed their arrival on the megaphone.

The policeman explained, “It’s the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.” “We have a warrant for a search. You must exit with your hands raised and your pockets bare.

According to one of the videos, another officer called the woman and advised her to maintain her composure and leave through the garage.

The SWAT officer instructed her, “I want you to stay on the phone with me.” “Open that door, please.”

The woman said, “Please don’t shoot me.

The man and lady approached the policemen one at a time, their hands on their heads, as they slowly descended the driveway and into the neighborhood’s whirlwind of red and blue police lights.

“Who are you seeking? Me?” As the officers zip-tied his hands behind his back, the man spoke. He wore a black shirt, tank top, and dark shorts.

Las Vegas SWAT personnel arrested a couple during a nighttime house raid in July in connection with the unsolved murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.

When the man was asked for his name, the audio in the video was shut off. He claimed that the only people inside the house were him and his wife.

It was not immediately obvious if Davis had a lawyer who could make a statement on his behalf, and messages left on the phones of Davis and his wife that were publicly listed did not get a response.

The real police search is not depicted in the videos. A copy of Davis’ 2019 tell-all memoir, “Compton Street Legend,” as well as numerous computers, a mobile, a hard drive, a magazine that featured Tupac Shakur, and several others. According to the search warrant, 40-caliber bullets and “tubs containing photographs” were also reportedly found.

In the book, Davis claimed that in a private meeting with federal and local officials in 2010, he first broke his silence on Tupac’s murder. When he consented to meet with them, he was 46 and faced a life sentence for drug-related offenses.

Davis wrote that if I aided them, they would destroy the indictment and stop the grand jury.

Shakur was shot and killed on September 7, 1996, while standing at a stop sign near the Las Vegas Strip in a BMW driven by Marion “Suge” Knight, the founder of Death Row Records. Gunfire broke out as a white Cadillac drew up beside them, striking Shakur multiple times. A week later, the 25-year-old rapper passed away.

In his autobiography, Davis acknowledged being in the Cadillac. He accused his nephew Orlando Anderson of being one of the two passengers in the back of the car where the bullets were fired and claimed he “tossed” the weapon used in the attack into the back seat.

The altercation, which involved Anderson, Shakur, and others earlier in the evening in a casino, erupted shortly after the shooting.

Anderson denies having any part in the murder of Shakur. Two years later, he passed away in a shooting in Compton, California. Davis claims that he is the sole surviving eyewitness of the four guys in the Cadillac in his memoir. Knight, who survived the drive-by shooting, is currently doing time in jail in California for killing a man in 2015 by running him over with a pickup truck.

Jason Kelce Smashes College Football Fan's Phone

Retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce destroyed a Penn State football fan’s phone after the alleged heckler called his brother, Travis Kelce, a fag.

In now-viral footage published on X (previously Twitter) on Saturday, Nov. 2, the retired Philadelphia Eagles great was seen accompanied by football fans outside Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa., for the Penn State-Ohio State game.

As the individual capturing the tape lifted a fist to Jason, 36, and called his name for a fist bump, another man nearby hurled the homophobic slur at the retired Philadelphia Eagles star.

Hey, Kelce. How does it feel that your brother is a queer dating Taylor Swift?” the man questioned, referring to Travis, 34, who has been seeing Swift since 2023. Jason turned around seconds later, snatched the man’s phone, and crushed it to the ground.

“Looked like a Penn State student was getting in Kelce’s face for no reason,” the original X user who submitted the video remarked. “Wild scene in State College.”

Additional footage on X shows Jason smashing the phone on asphalt before picking it up and walking away. The phone’s owner, wearing a Penn State hoodie at the time of the incident, was shown in many videos strolling closely behind Jason and recording him before the conflict occurred.

Another footage published on X, which appears to have been filmed after Jason shattered the man’s phone, showed the hooded Penn State supporter trudging through a mob to pick up his phone off the ground.

“Give me my phone, bro,” he seemed to say to Jason.

The NFL alum seized the gadget first, then stood in front of the man and asked, “Who’s the fag now?” Others appeared to interfere.

The incident occurred while Jason was at Beaver Stadium for an appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay. The Ohio State Buckeyes won Saturday’s game 20-13 over the Penn State Nittany Lions.

According to a Vogue interview published Wednesday, Shaun said he assembled a team of people from the couple’s inner circle and Vogue personnel to trick Dobrev into thinking she had been invited to an intimate dinner party with Anna Wintour.

White claimed that his publicist emailed Dobrev a forged invitation to the event, which was scheduled to take place at the Golden Swan in New York City.

Dobrev accepted the invitation, joking that Shaun made it “look so legitimate.”

He even asked Dobrev’s stylist to outfit her in Chanel for the event.

Dobrev said she recognized what was happening when she entered the venue and saw White standing beneath the flowery arch.

Hollywood Actress Teri Garr Passes Away at 79

Hollywood Actress Teri Garr Passes Away at 79
Teri Garr, known for her roles in classics like "Young Frankenstein" and "Tootsie," has passed away at 79.

Hollywood actress Teri Garr, known for her roles in classics like “Young Frankenstein” and “Tootsie,” has passed away at 79. She died Tuesday of multiple sclerosis “surrounded by family and friends,” said publicist Heidi Schaeffer.

Admirers took to social media in her honor, with writer-director Paul Feig calling her “truly one of my comedy heroes. I couldn’t have loved her more” and screenwriter Cinco Paul saying: “Never the star, but always shining. She made everything she was in better.”

Throughout her career, the performer, often known as Terri, Terry, or Terry Ann, seemed destined for show business from a young age.

Her father was Eddie Garr, a well-known vaudeville comic, and her mother was Phyllis Lind, one of the original high-kicking Rockettes at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. Their daughter began dancing classes at six and was performing with the San Francisco and Los Angeles ballet companies by age fourteen.

She was 16 years old when she joined the road crew of “West Side Story” in Los Angeles, and she began starring in small roles in films as early as 1963.

In an interview from 1988, she described how she landed the role in “West Side Story.” After being rejected at her initial audition, she returned the following day dressed differently and was accepted.

Teri Garr, a comedian

Teri Garr then found steady work as a movie dancer, appearing in the chorus of nine Elvis Presley films, including “Viva Las Vegas,” “Roustabout,” and “Clambake.”

She has also appeared on various television shows, including “Star Trek,” “Dr. Kildare,” and “Batman,” and was a featured dancer on the rock ‘n’ roll music show “Shindig,” the rock concert performance “T.A.M.I.,” and a cast member of “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour.”

Her breakthrough role was as Gene Hackman’s girlfriend in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1974 thriller The Conversation. This led to an interview with Mel Brooks, who offered her the Gene Wilder’s German lab assistant role in Young Frankenstein if she could speak with a German accent.

“Cher had this German woman, Renata, making wigs, so I got the accent from her,” Garr once said.

The film established her as a great comic performer, with New Yorker film writer Pauline Kael calling her “the funniest neurotic dizzy dame on screen.”

Her big smile and off-center appeal helped her land roles in “Oh, God!” with George Burns and John Denver, “Mr. Mom” (as Michael Keaton’s wife), and “Tootsie,” in which she played the girlfriend who loses Dustin Hoffman to Jessica Lange and discovers he has dressed up as a woman to revive his career.

 A gift for spontaneous humor

Teri Garr, best known for comedy, has shown in films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Black Stallion, and The Escape Artist that she can also tackle drama.

She had a gift for spontaneous humor, frequently playing David Letterman’s foil during early guest appearances on N.B.C.’s “Late Night With David Letterman”.

Her appearances grew so frequent, and the pair’s good-natured bickering so convincing that rumors of romantic involvement circulated for a while. Years later, Letterman acknowledged those early appearances with helping the program become a success.

During those years, Garr began to experience “a little beeping or ticking” in her right leg. It started in 1983 and expanded to her right arm, but she thought she could handle it. By 1999, her symptoms had gotten so bad that she saw a doctor and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

After disclosing her diagnosis, Garr became a spokesman for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, giving hilarious remarks at events in the United States and Canada.
