Jason Davis, aged 60, was arrested last week for allegedly orchestrating the shooting of Tupac Shakur on September 7, 1996. Davis made his first court appearance on Wednesday, where the judge postponed his arraignment for a minimum of two weeks as Davis requested additional time for his defense attorney to be present.

Davis, also known by the moniker "Keffe D," is set to face charges of murder with the implementation of a lethal weapon in connection to a gang-associated killing, as stated by Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson. Presently, Davis is being detained without the option for bail.

Edi Faal, the personal attorney of Davis Los Angeles, declined to comment on the case when reached by phone on Wednesday. However, he mentioned that he is currently working on helping his client find local representation in Nevada.

Shakur, who was 25 years old, was fatally shot while leaving a boxing match on the Las Vegas Strip. His untimely death abruptly ended his successful career, and the long-standing enigma surrounding it further solidified his position as a prominent figure in the history of hip hop.

As captured on the video, the arrest commences with an officer emerging from a police vehicle stationed on a residential street, addressing an individual by the name of "Keffe." The officer identifies himself as a member of the Metro Police force and courteously invites the man to approach. Expressing gratitude for his cooperation, the officer kindly requests the man's presence, emphasizing the value of his assistance.

Davis can be seen in the footage, placing his phone and water bottle on the hood of a vehicle, indicating that he was out for a walk. Subsequently, the officers proceed to handcuff him and place him in the vehicle. The footage then transitions to a different location, where Davis is being transferred to another police car. At this point, an officer inquires, "So, what are they charging you with, man?"

Davis responds: "Oh, man, the biggest case in Las Vegas history."

Officer: "Oh, yeah?"

Davis: "Yeah."

Officer: "Like recent?"

Davis: "September 7th, 1996."

Officer: "Oh, no s**t. Wow. Thats a long time … Thats a long time away."

Davis asks, "Do you understand what I'm referring to?"

"I am not concerned, but I did not do anything," Davis can be heard saying from the rear seat of the car. Davis and the officer proceed to discuss the incident when his home was raided by the police in July, with Davis mentioning that a SWAT team carried out the operation.

Davis: "At least they didnt make no big a** scene like they did last time."

Officer: "They didnt make a scene like last time?"

Davis: "No, they made a big a** scene. Three SWAT units. … There were a bunch of walkie talkies in the house behind me. Saw people over the gate."

The footage ends when the officer and Davis arrive at their destination and get out of the car.

CNN has reached out to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police to get a copy of the body camera footage.

For years, Davis has consistently claimed that he was present at the crime scene, asserting that he sat in the front seat of a white Cadillac. According to his account, the car pulled up next to Shakur's vehicle, and gunfire erupted from the back seat. Shakur sustained four gunshot wounds and tragically passed away six days later.

Law enforcement authorities have identified Davis as the suspected mastermind behind the plan to assassinate Shakur. They argue that this act was in retaliation for an assault on Davis' nephew, which was part of a larger dispute between two rival gangs in Compton, California.
