Police lapel videos have been released showing the detainment of a couple during a SWAT raid in connection with the cold case killing of rapper Tupac Shakur. The heavily redacted videos do not reveal the couple's identity or the inside of the home, but a warrant stated that police were searching for items related to Shakur's murder. The couple emerged from the garage with their hands up and were taken into custody. The videos do not show the actual search, but the warrant listed items collected, including computers, a cellphone, and a copy of a memoir by Duane "Keffe D" Davis, a witness to the crime. Davis, who admitted to being in the car during the shooting, implicated his nephew, Orlando Anderson, who denied involvement and later died in a separate shooting.
