A former gang leader has been arrested in connection with the 1996 killing of US rapper Tupac Shakur.

27 years after Tupac's death, Duane Davis was taken into custody on suspicion of murder.

Shakur was shot times at age 25 while stopped at a red light on the Las Vegas strip.

KTLA entertainment reporter Sam Rubin says the suspect and Tupac Shakur were in rival gangs- and it's unclear if the retribution against Tupac's gang was intended to be fatal.
