A man has been arrested in Las Vegas over the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, who was shot dead in 1996.

The man identified as Duane “Keffe D” Davis was arrested early on Friday morning, according to the Associated Press, who cited two unnamed officials with first-hand knowledge of the arrest.

However, the exact charge or charges were not immediately clear, with a formal indictment expected later.

The arrest is a long-awaited break in a case that has frustrated investigators and fascinated the public ever since the hip-hop star was killed on the Las Vegas Strip 27 years ago.

Born in New York City, Tupac became one of the leading figures in the West Coast hip-hop scene, with hits including “California Love” and “Dear Mama”.

Known by his stage name 2Pac, he was nominated for a Grammy Award six times and is widely considered to be one of the most influential rappers of all time.

He was killed on the night of 7 September 1996, while in a black BMW driven by Death Row Records founder Marion “Suge” Knight.
