A recently released trove of FBI documents has unearthed a disturbing new detail in the investigation surrounding the shooting of Tupac Shakur, suggesting a complex and potentially fatal connection between former FBI agent Wade Lee and a man named Orlando Anderson. The documents, obtained in connection with Keefe D’s trial, detail a 1998 interview with Lee, which traces Anderson’s story from a Compton mall fight to his own death two years later. The FBI notes, meticulously documented and seemingly crucial to the ongoing investigation, paint a picture of a protracted and escalating conflict between Anderson’s South Side Compton Crips and rival Blood gang members, culminating in a violent confrontation at the Las Vegas MGM Grand casino. The events leading up to the shooting are detailed in the notes, which place Anderson at the center of the investigation almost immediately. Police and Davis’ own circle, including former FBI agents, pointed to Anderson as the shooter, though Anderson consistently denied involvement and was never charged in Shakur’s death. A war between the South Side Compton Crips and Compton Blood gangs erupted in the aftermath of the shooting, and Davis’ own circle lost a member, Bobby Finch, during that conflict. The investigation, initially focused on the initial altercation between the Crips and Blood gangs, quickly broadened to encompass multiple rival Compton gangs, complicating an already challenging case. Despite the earlier beating, Davis’ own memoir reveals a crucial detail – Anderson later testified favorably for Knight at a probation violation hearing, though Davis never saw evidence that Knight held the MGM Grand attack against Anderson afterward. Anderson’s own death, occurring less than two years after Shakur’s, on May 29, 1998, a day after Davis’ federal arrest, was documented in the notes as a result of a planned encounter with three members of the Corner Pocket Crips. Two of the men were brothers who shared the last name Stone, and the third was identified only as Danny. Davis claimed Danny had been mouthing off about Anderson for days before pulling a .25-caliber pistol and opening fire first. Anderson pulled his own gun and shot back, killing both Stone brothers before he and Owl fled the scene. Anderson later died from the wound, according to the notes. The documents detail a significant timeline where Anderson, working with Owl, ran into three members of the Corner Pocket Crips that afternoon. Two of the men were brothers who shared the last name Stone, and the third was identified only as Danny. Davis said Danny had been mouthing off about Anderson for days before pulling a .25-caliber pistol and opening fire first. Anderson pulled his own gun and shot back, killing both Stone brothers before he and Owl fled the scene. It was only after driving off that Anderson realized he had been hit by gunfire, and he later died from the wound. The notes, as reported by NPR’s investigation, strongly implicate Anderson in the fatal shooting and are being used as the basis for prosecutors’ case against Davis in Las Vegas this week. The revelation, presented in detail, suggests a deeply intertwined network of violence and a potential cover-up that continues to haunt the investigation.”}
