Police arrested Duane Keith Davis, 60, in connection to the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, officials announced in a news conference Friday.
Sheriff Kevin McMahill, with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, said the arrest happened Friday morning.
While the investigation into Shakur's death started 27 years ago, "it is far from over," McMahill said.
The sheriff said his police department "methodically built this case to move forward with an arrest," while also working to build a "successful prosecution," he said.
Earlier Friday, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation had told CNN that Davis was arrested in connection with Shakur's killing.
