Jada Pinkett Smith Responds to Arrest in Tupac Murder Case

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.
