Davis, 60, is charged with one count of murder with use of a deadly weapon and with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang, Clark County District Attorney Steven B. Wolfson told reporters during a Friday press conference.
Davis has been on police radar since the crime, having admitted to being inside a Cadillac where shots were fired that night near Las Vegas Boulevard.

During a press conference in Las Vegas Friday, LVPD homicide Lt. Jason Johansson said the shooting took place as Shakur headed to a nightclub, after watching Mike Tyson knock out Bruce Seldon in a championship fight at the MGM Grand.
Shakur was riding in a BMW driven by Marion "Suge" Knight when the Cadillac with four men inside pulled alongside them at a red light; one person opened fire, riddling the passenger side of Knight's car with bullets, police said. Shakur's fatal shooting kicked off a decades-long mystery that stumped and enraptured investigators and the public alike.

Shakur was heavily involved in the East Coast-West Coast rivalry of the era, igniting tensions between himself and rival the Notorious B.I.G., who died in a separate shooting one year after Shakur's slaying.
Before the recent arrest, police raided Davis' home in July and collected an assortment of items, including computers, a cell phone, a hard drive and several .40-caliber bullets.
