REFUSING TO TESTIFY
TMZ.com

Suge Knight is surprised there's finally an arrest in the murder of Tupac Shakur, and even though he was an eyewitness in the case ... he says he'll refuse if called to testify against the suspect, Duane "Keefe D" Davis.

TMZ spoke exclusively with the Death Row Records founder on Monday ... and he insists cops and prosecutors are barking up the wrong tree with their arrest of Davis. Even further, he refutes the long-held belief Davis' late nephew, Orlando Anderson, was the shooter.

Of course, Suge was in the BMW that 1996 night in Las Vegas when both he and Tupac were shot. During the phone call from a CA state prison, he told us regardless of what Davis has confessed to in interviews, or to police ... Suge himself won't ever say a bad word about the man.

He also said prosecutors can forget about getting him on the stand during Davis' murder trial. In a nutshell, Suge says he's not ratting out anyone. Keep in mind, of the 6 people involved in the shooting -- 4 were in the shooter's car -- Suge and Davis are the only 2 still alive.

As you know ... Davis was arrested last week in Las Vegas after a grand jury indicted him -- but the whole bust was a huge surprise to Suge.

Cops say Keefe D was in on Tupac's murder and supplied the gun used in the fatal shooting ... which went down shortly after Tupac's crew beat the crap out of Orlando inside the MGM Grand following a Mike Tyson fight.

While Suge made it clear he'll never say who did open fire on Pac and him ... he says he knows it wasn't Anderson, and he insinuated Keefe D doesn't belong behind bars either.

Keefe's been outspoken for years about his alleged involvement in Tupac's murder, giving interviews and even writing a book about it -- and cops say that played a big part in reinvigorating the investigation.

Suge, who is currently serving out a 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter, won't say whether Keefe D was involved at all in the shooting -- but he was sure of one thing, telling us he'd never wish prison time on anyone.

2Pac Murder Case Keefe D Panicked About Going to Jail ... Feared Incriminating Himself in Interview

Tupac Shakur murder suspect Duane Keith "Keefe D" Davis only has himself to blame for cops re-opening the nearly 3 decades-old investigation -- he knew he was close to self-incrimination during at least one interview.

Keefe spoke openly, several times, with platforms VladTV and The Art of Dialogue leading up to Las Vegas Police raiding his home in July, and arresting him last week. 'Dialogue' reminded folks of that Monday by reposting one of its clips where Keefe was sweating bullets.

In the interview, conducted a couple months ago, he admits riding in the car that contained Tupac's shooter, but wouldn't elaborate whether it was his nephew Orlando Anderson or another man, "Big Dre," who pulled the trigger.

In the tense conversation, Keefe says he wasn't trying to go back to jail for speaking his peace ... which is exactly what happened anyway.

Ex-NFL TE Russ Francis Dies In Plane Crash ... At 70 Years Old

Former New England Patriots Pro Bowl tight end Russ Francis, along with another man, were killed Sunday when the small plane they were flying in crashed in Lake Placid.

Francis was 70 years old.

The crash, according to police, occurred a few minutes after 4 PM near Lake Placid Airport in New York.

The plane was a Cessna 177 Cardinal ... a light, single-engine aircraft that was first introduced in the late '60s. The Cessna "experienced an emergency after takeoff" and "attempted to return to the airport but failed to make the runway," according to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA).

The second passenger who died alongside Francis was Richard McSpadden, a Senior Vice President for the AOPA. McSpadden was a very accomplished pilot, commanding the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds during his military career.

It's unclear if Francis, also a pilot, or McSpadden were flying at the time of the crash.

On the football field, Francis was one of the best at his position.

Russ was drafted with the 16th overall pick in the 1975 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots after starring at Oregon. He played 13 total seasons with the Pats and San Francisco 49ers, making 3 Pro Bowls and 2 All-Pro teams. Francis played in 167 games, catching 393 balls for 5,262 yards and 40 yards.

The Patriots released a statement on Francis' death.

"On behalf of the entire New England Patriots organization, we extend our sincerest sympathies to the family of Russ Francis, who tragically passed away yesterday," said Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft in a prepared statement.

RIP.

TMZ broke the story, Steve passed away on September 4 due to liver failure -- he was surrounded by friends and family at his home in Boise.

The group's longtime frontman was in hospice care when doctors told him he only had a few days to live.

TIM WAKEFIELD FALLECE A LOS 57 Días después de que Schilling revelara su diagnóstico

El lanzador de Tim Wakefield, dos veces campeón de la Serie Mundial, ha fallecido a la edad de 57 años. Solo unos días después de que su excompañero de equipo, Curt Schilling, revelara que el veterano lanzador estaba luchando contra el cáncer cerebral.

Los Boston Red Sox, el equipo de Wakefield durante casi todas sus 19 temporadas en las Grandes Ligas (pasó sus primeros días con los Pirates), anunciaron la devastadora noticia en redes sociales.

"Nuestros corazones están destrozados por la pérdida de Tim Wakefield", escribieron los Red Sox.

"Wake personificaba la verdadera bondad; un esposo, padre y compañero de equipo dedicado. Además de ser un querido locutor y el líder definitivo de la comunidad. Dio mucho al juego y a toda la Nación de los Red Sox".

"Nuestro amor más profundo y nuestros pensamientos están con Stacy, Trevor, Brianna y la familia Wakefield".

En el montículo, Wakefield era casi imbatible gracias a su knuckleball. Ganó 200 juegos y se retiró con una efectividad de 4.41. Tim ponchó a más de 2,100 bateadores y fue seleccionado para el Juego de Estrellas en 2009.

Ganó dos Series Mundiales en 2004 y 2007.

Wakefield se retiró en 2011 y más tarde fue incluido en el Salón de la Fama de los Red Sox.

Por supuesto, no se sabía públicamente que el ex All-Star estaba enfermo hasta que Schilling, en su podcast la semana pasada, reveló que Tim estaba luchando contra el cáncer y peleando por su vida, aparentemente en contra de los deseos de la familia Wakefield.

Curt incluso reconoció: "Ni siquiera sé si él quiere que se comparta", pero explicó que era cristiano y comentó: "He visto que la oración funciona así que voy a hablar de ello".

Schilling catalogó la enfermedad como "una forma muy grave y muy agresiva de cáncer cerebral".

Muchos se indignaron por las acciones de Schilling. La esposa de Jason Varitek, Catherine, criticó al ganador de la Serie Mundial. Los Red Sox también condenaron a Curt, diciendo: "La salud es un asunto profundamente personal que tenían la intención de mantener en privado mientras navegan por el tratamiento y trabajan para combatir esta enfermedad".

El equipo de las Grandes Ligas agregó que los Wakefield estaban pidiendo "privacidad en este momento".

Lamentablemente, tan solo tres días después, el legendario lanzador de knuckleball (tipo de lanzamiento en el que la pelota se mueve de manera irregular para dificultar al bateador) y padre de dos hijos falleció.

Muchos miembros de la comunidad del béisbol han comenzado a reaccionar ante esta terrible noticia, con el excompañero de equipo de Tim, Kevin Youkilis, resumiendo perfectamente a Wakefield.

"Fue un gran compañero de equipo y simplemente un gran amigo".

Descansa en paz.

Tim Wakefield Dead At 57 Days After Schilling Revealed Diagnosis

Knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, a 2x World Series champion, has died at the age of 57 ... just days after former teammate Curt Schilling revealed the longtime starting pitcher was battling brain cancer.

The Boston Red Sox, Wakefield's team for all but two of his 19 MLB seasons (he spent his early days with the Pirates), announced the devastating news on social media.

"Our hearts are broken with the loss of Tim Wakefield," the BoSox wrote on X.

"Wake embodied true goodness; a devoted husband, father, and teammate, beloved broadcaster, and the ultimate community leader. He gave so much to the game and all of Red Sox Nation."

"Our deepest love and thoughts are with Stacy, Trevor, Brianna, and the Wakefield family."

On the mound, Wakefield could be nearly unhittable … thanks to his knuckleball. TW won 200 games and retired with a 4.41 ERA. Tim struck out over 2,100 batters and earned a trip to the All-Star Game in 2009.

He won two World Series in 2004 and 2007.

Wakefield retired in 2011 ... and was later inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame.

Of course, it wasn't publicly known that the former All-Star was sick until Schilling, on his podcast last week, revealed Tim was battling cancer and fighting for his life, seemingly against the Wakefield family's wishes.

Curt even acknowledged "I don't even know if he wants it shared," but explained he was Christian and remarked ... "I've seen prayer work and so I'm going to talk about it."

Schilling categorized the illness as "a very serious, very aggressive form of brain cancer."

Many were outraged by Schilling's actions ... Jason Varitek's wife, Catherine, blasted the World Series MVP-winning pitcher. The Red Sox also condemned Curt, saying, "Health is a deeply personal matter they intended to keep private as they navigate treatment and work to tackle this disease."

The MLB team added that the Wakefields were asking for "privacy at this time."

Sadly, just three days later, the legendary knuckleballer and father of two, passed away.

Many from the baseball community have begun reacting to the terrible news, with Tim's former teammate, Kevin Youkilis, summing Wakefield up perfectly.

"He was a great teammate and just a great friend."

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Burton presenta su última colección Tras un largo periodo como directora creativa

Sarah Burton se está alejando de Alexander McQueen (AMQ) a lo grande, porque su última colección para la famosa casa de moda, y su pasarela, fueron de esas para no olvidar.

La directora creativa de AMQ, que hace mucho tiempo sucedió al propio McQueen tras su muerte en 2010, sacó a relucir su estilo único para la línea primavera/ verano 2024 este sábado en la Semana de la Moda de París, que será su última como cabeza de la marca.

Sus modelos ciertamente no decepcionaron, al vestir sus atuendos con elegancia y gracia mientras caminaban arriba y abajo de la pasarela, luciendo con orgullo los diseños del canto del cisne de Sarah Burton.

Un rostro familiar también estaba en el grupo, Naomi Campbell, quien ha trabajado mucho con McQueen a lo largo de los años. La modelo hizo su famoso pavoneo en un vestido hecho por Burton e incluso parece haber derramado una lágrima al cierre del show, lo que demuestra que este es realmente el fin de una era.

Burton anunció su salida de Alexander McQueen a principios de este mes. Aunque la empresa con sede en Kering no dio ninguna razón oficial ni tampoco ha nombrado a un sucesor.

En ese entonces, Sarah se limitó a decir: "Estoy muy orgullosa de todo lo que he hecho y de mi increíble equipo en Alexander McQueen. Estoy ansiosa por lo que viene, mi próximo capítulo y siempre llevaré conmigo este tiempo tan preciado". Aún no se sabe a dónde irá después.

Como hemos dicho, la salida de Burton pone fin a una carrera pionera llena de puntos culminantes, uno de los cuales incluyó el diseño del magnífico vestido de novia de Kate Middleton en 2011, algo que todo el mundo pudo presenciar durante su matrimonio con el príncipe William.

Ha ganado un montón de premios y sus sensibilidades en la moda han sido elogiadas por un largo tiempo.

Se puede decir lo respetada que es por sus contemporáneos, porque la propia editora en jefe de Vogue, Anna Wintour, también estuvo presente el sábado para despedir a Sarah con un gran abrazo.

Los atuendos de Sarah han sido usados por celebridades de todo el mundo, y ahora un nuevo capítulo comienza.

Alexander McQueen Burton Debuts Final Collection ... As Longtime CD

Sarah Burton is walking away from Alexander McQueen with a bang -- because her final collection for the famous fashion house was one for the ages ... and a catwalk to remember.

The longtime AMQ Creative Director -- who succeeded McQueen himself following his death in 2010, serving as a trailblazer -- trotted out her unique style for the Spring/Summer 2024 line Saturday during Paris Fashion Week ... which will be her last as head of the brand.

Her models certainly didn't disappoint ... carrying themselves with elegance and grace as they walked up and down the runway, proudly rocking SB's swan song designs.

A familiar face was also in the mix ... Naomi Campbell -- who's worked with McQueen a lot over the years -- did her famous strut in a Burton-made gown ... and she even appears to have shed a tear to close out the show, just proving this is truly the end of an era.

Burton announced her departure from Alexander McQueen earlier this month -- although no official reason was given by parent company Kering ... and no successor has been named.

At the time, SB simply said ... "“I am so proud of everything I’ve done and of my incredible team at Alexander McQueen. I am looking forward to the future and my next chapter and will always carry this treasured time with me." No word on where she's going next.

Like we said ... Burton's exit caps off a trailblazing career full of highlights -- one of which included Sarah designing Kate Middleton's gorgeous wedding dress in 2011 ... something the entire world got to witness during her marriage to Prince William.

She's won a ton of awards, and her fashion sensibilities have been lauded for a long time.

You can tell just how respected she is by her contemporaries ... because Vogue's very own EIC Anna Wintour was also on hand Saturday to send Sarah off right -- giving her a big hug.

Sarah's fits have been worn by celebs far and wide ... and now, a new chapter begins.

JADA PINKETT SMITH Reacciona al arresto por el asesinato de Tupac

Jada Pinkett Smith es una de las muchas personas que se alegra de tener a alguien rindiendo cuentas por el asesinato de Tupac Shakur, y así se lo ha hecho saber a sus millones de seguidores.

La actriz utilizó su Instagram el viernes por la noche para subir una reacción corta, pero concisa de las noticias sobre Pac, a saber, el hecho de que Duane 'Keefe D' Davis fue detenido y acusado de asesinato en relación con el caso que sigue abierto en Las Vegas y que se había ido enfriando con los años.

Jada escribe: "Ahora espero que podamos obtener algunas respuestas y tener algún cierre. Que en paz descanses, Pac".

Como hemos dicho, es un mensaje bastante simple de su parte, pero muy significativo, teniendo en cuenta lo mucho que Tupac significaba para Jada y cuán seguido se refiere a él, incluso hasta el día de hoy.

Muchos están familiarizados con la historia de Jada con Pac. Ambos eran muy amigos en los años 80 y 90, época en la que crecieron juntos y se enredaron en la edad adulta.

Jada ha insistido durante mucho tiempo que nunca fue una relación romántica, pero algunos especulan que podría no ser así. De nuevo, ella ha hablado largo y tendido sobre él y recordado su relación públicamente, a tal punto que algunos han levantado una ceja, especialmente después de la bofetada.

El punto es que Tupac, obviamente, significa mucho para Jada y que ella parece aliviada de que este capítulo podría estar llegando a su fin después de años de misterio e intriga.

Como informamos, Keefe D fue acusado de un cargo de asesinato abierto esta semana, solo un par de meses después de la aplicación de la ley que allanó su casa de Las Vegas, como ejecución de una orden de registro.

Su participación en el asesinato ha estado presente desde hace años, sobre la base de sus propias palabras. Él ha hecho un sinnúmero de entrevistas e incluso publicó un libro, todo lo cual parece verlo detallando el golpe a golpe de los disparos. Ahora, tendrá que responder por ello ante un tribunal.

Jada Pinkett Smith Reacts to Tupac Murder Arrest ... Finally, Some Answers

Jada Pinkett Smith is one of many who are happy to have somebody being held to account over the murder of Tupac Shakur -- and she made it known to her millions of followers.

The actress took to Instagram Friday night with a short but concise reaction to the Pac news -- namely, the fact that Duane 'Keefe D' Davis was arrested and charged with murder in connection to the open case out of Las Vegas ... which had seemingly gone cold for years.

JPS writes, "Now I hope we can get some answers and have some closure. R.I.P. Pac."

Like we said ... a fairly simple message on her part, but it's quite meaningful considering how much Tupac meant to Jada -- and how often she references him, even today.

Many are familiar with Jada's history with Pac ... they go way back, and were very close friends back in the '80s and '90s when they grew up together and mingled into adulthood.

Jada has long insisted they were never romantic, but some speculate that might not be the case ... again, she's spoken at length about him and has reminisced about their relationship publicly, to the point some have raised an eyebrow in retrospect -- especially post-slap.

That's neither here nor there ... point is, Tupac obviously means a lot to Jada -- and she seems relieved this chapter might be coming to a close after years of mystery/intrigue.

As we reported ... Keefe D was indicted on an open murder charge this week, just a couple months after law enforcement raided his Vegas-area home upon executing a search warrant.

His involvement in the murder has been out there for years now, based on his own words -- dude's done countless interviews and even published a book ... all of which seem to see him detailing the blow-by-blow of the shooting. Now, he'll have to answer for it in court.

Quando Rondo Prosecutors Want Him Banned ... You Keep Getting Shot At!!!

Quando Rondo's presence is his community is apparently a cause for concern ... prosecutors want him banned from his hometown in Georgia because they say he's a target for violence.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained court docs in which prosecutors are asking to modify the Never Broke Again rapper's current bond conditions ... they want the judge to keep him out of Chatham County, Georgia pending his trial.

Quando currently resides in Midway, GA ... a town roughly 30 miles outside of Savannah and where they say doesn't have the same dangers for Quando in Chatham County, a more urban area.

On the flip side, prosecutors say Quando has been targeted in violent shooting attacks at least 3 times in urban settings, including a September 20 attack at a local barbershop where at least 2 people were shot and 30 shell casings were collected at the scene.

Officials note that Quando's bond was granted for him to continue his rap career -- but prosecutors say he was not performing or doing anything related to his music career "while loitering outside" at the time of the September shooting.

Jacky Oh! Causa de muerte revelada Complicaciones de una cirugía estética

La pareja de DC Young Fly, Jacky Oh!, falleció como consecuencia de complicaciones derivadas de una cirugía estética, quejándose de que la cabeza le "ardía" horas antes de su muerte, según ha podido indagar TMZ.

Según el informe de la autopsia obtenido por TMZ, Jacky voló a Miami en mayo para someterse a un procedimiento de liposucción y grasa transferida a su trasero.

La cirugía se completó el 30 de mayo y a Jacky le recetaron Cliprofloxacina (un antibiótico), Oxicodona (un analgésico) y Ondansetrón (contra las náuseas).

Poco después, la paciente de 32 años empezó a tener dolor de cabeza, por lo que volvió al cirujano para una cita postoperatoria, entonces decidió hacerse un masaje para aliviar el dolor. Le aconsejaron que tomara ibuprofeno y que dejara de tomar el ondansetrón.

Según el informe de la autopsia, Jacky presentaba inflamación cerebral y una extensa hemorragia en la piel del torso.

Una publicación en las redes sociales borrada antes de su muerte decía que estaba en la ciudad para someterse a un "cambio de imagen de mamá" con el Dr. Zachary Okhah.

El Dr. Okhah habló poco después de su muerte, pero no abordó la situación directamente. En lugar de declarar que su oficina "sigue dedicada a la atención médica de la más alta calidad",  añadió: "Todos los procedimientos estéticos se realizan en un ambiente higiénicamente seguro a las normas médicas universalmente reconocidas."

Jacky Oh! Cause Of Death Revealed Complications from Cosmetic Surgery

DC Young Fly's partner Jacky Oh!'s died as a result of complications from cosmetic surgery, complaining her head was "burning" just hours before her death, TMZ has learned.

According to the autopsy report, obtained by TMZ, Jacky flew to Miami in May to undergo a procedure where she had liposuction and fat transferred to her butt ... aka a BBL.

The surgery was completed May 30, and Jacky was prescribed Ciprofloxacin (an antibiotic), Oxycodone (a painkiller), and Ondansetron (anti-nausea).

Shortly thereafter, the 32-year-old began to get a headache, returning to the surgeon for a post-operative appointment ... she then decided to get a massage to help alleviate her pain, and was advised to take ibuprofen and to stop taking the Ondansetron.

Tupac Man Indicted for Murder In 1996 Vegas Killing

update

2:35 PM PT -- Tupac Shakur's sister, Sekyiwa "Set," shared a statement to TMZ saying ... "This is no doubt a pivotal moment. The silence of the past 27 years surrounding this case has spoken loudly in our community. It’s important to me that the world, the country, the justice system, and our people acknowledge the gravity of the passing of this man, my brother, my mother’s son, my father’s son. His life and death matters, and should not go unsolved or unrecognized, so yes, today is a victory but I will reserve judgment until all the facts and legal proceedings are complete."

She concluded, "There have been multiple hands involved and there remains so much surrounding the life and death of my brother Tupac and our Shakur family overall. We are seeking real justice, on all fronts."

1:50 PM PT -- Duane Keith "Keefe D" Davis' mug shot has been released.

1:02 PM PT -- Law enforcement officials just held a press conference, revealing Davis gave them reason to get back on the case in 2018 when he started doing interviews and eventually wrote a book detailing his involvement in the murder.

PROGRESSING TOWARDS JUSTICE

Officials say once they executed the search warrant, they were able to present their new evidence to a grad jury who made the decision to indict Davis with one count of open murder with use of a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement.

Tupac Shakur was murdered 27 years ago, and there's finally been a major update in the case -- cops have made an arrest in connection to the killing.

Duane Keith "Keefe D" Davis was arrested early Friday morning by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on unknown charges related to Tupac's murder ... according to the AP, who says they spoke with two officials with first-hand knowledge of the arrest.

Davis certainly isn't a new name when it comes to Tupac's murder, admitting in interviews and his book "Compton Street Legend" that he was in the Cadillac from which the bullets that killed Tupac were fired.

Keefe D is a former Crip, and claims to be the uncle of the late Orlando Anderson ... who's been suspected, at least on the streets, to have been the shooter.

Orlando is also the man who got into the fight with Tupac and his crew inside the MGM Grand right after a Mike Tyson fight ... and shortly before the fatal shooting went down just off the Vegas strip.

It was back in July when cops descended on a Las Vegas home owned by Keefe D's wife, Paula Clemons, executing a search warrant in connection to the murder investigation.

During the search, cops took a computer hard drive, cell phones, a copy of Vibe magazine that featured Tupac and tubs containing old photographs.

They also took several .40 caliber bullets.

Los oficiales dicen que una vez que ejecutaron la orden de registro, pudieron presentar la nueva evidencia a un jurado graduado que tomó la decisión de acusar a Davis con un cargo de asesinato abierto con uso de un arma mortal con una pandilla.

Tupac Shakur fue asesinado hace 27 años, y finalmente ha habido una actualización importante en el caso, pues la policía arrestó a un sujeto relacionado con el crimen.

Duane Keith "Keefe D" Davis fue detenido la madrugada del viernes por el Departamento de Policía Metropolitana de Las Vegas, por cargos desconocidos relacionados con el asesinato de Tupac. Todo esto, según AP, que dice que habló con dos funcionarios con conocimiento de primera mano de la detención.

Davis ciertamente no es un nombre nuevo cuando se trata del asesinato de Tupac, quien ha admitido en entrevistas y en su libro "Compton Street Legend" que estaba en el Cadillac desde el cual se dispararon las balas que mataron a Tupac.

Keefe D es un antiguo Crip (pandilla callejera de L.A.), y afirma ser tío del fallecido Orlando Anderson, de quien se sospecha, al menos en las calles, que fue el tirador.

Orlando es también el hombre que se metió en la pelea con Tupac y su equipo en el interior del MGM Grand justo después de una pelea de Mike Tyson y poco antes de que el tiroteo fatal ocurriera justo al lado del bulevar de Las Vegas.

Fue en julio cuando los policías se dirigieron hasta una casa de Las Vegas, propiedad de la esposa de Keefe D, Paula Clemons, para ejecutar una orden de registro relacionada con la investigación del asesinato.

Durante el registro, los policías tomaron un disco duro del computador, teléfonos móviles, una copia de la revista Vibe que tenía a Tupac y bañeras con fotografías antiguas.

También se llevaron varias balas del calibre 40.
