TUPAC Shakur murder suspect Keefe D is seen boasting about it being the “biggest case in Las Vegas history” as he is cuffed by officers in a shocking arrest video.

The U.S. Sun has obtained bodycam footage from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department of the 60-year-old being led to the station on Friday.

And in an astonishing show of ego, the self-confessed gangster also claimed he could jam himself into the back seat of a cop car in shackles, as he is “a pro.”

He also exclaimed to officers: “I don’t give a s***” and “I ain’t worried.”

New footage reveals how Keefe, real name Duane Davis, was taken aback as two officers emerged from an unmarked vehicle to apprehend him as he walked at sunrise close to his home.

In the videos, he can be seen wearing a white t-shirt, gray pants, and white sneakers, as he walks straight over to officers as they call out “Hey Keefe. Metro Police. Come over here.”

They then walked him over to their vehicle, saying “appreciate your cooperation” before ordering him to put down a plastic water bottle.

BEGS FOR WATER

Keefe told them: “I am as thirsty as a mother f*****,” while cops search him and one tells him: “I want to make sure you have no weapons on you.”

Another officer tells him to “put your palms together like you are clapping. I want to make sure these cuffs are going to be alright on you.”

After not putting up a fight, Keefe complained that he was thirsty again.

An officer insists: “We will get you some water, my man. As soon as we get you in the car.”

Several other officers then joined the arrest, as passers-by gathered to watch the astonishing moment on the side of the street.

Another cop is heard laughing before the arresting officer walks him to a patrol vehicle and informs the one-time Compton gang “O.G” that “we have to put some leg shackles on you. It is just part of our policy.”

Keefe seemed shocked at that decision but did not argue as an officer pushed up his track pants to secure his legs.

‘I’M A PRO’

Twenty seconds later Keefe is asked to “have a seat right in here” inside the cop car.

With his movement restricted from the cuffs and shackles, the officer offered: “I can help you out ” and urged him to “kick that foot up.”

Incredibly, he limberly maneuvered himself into the vehicles despite his restraints blasting: “I am pro dude. I got it.”

The stunned cop then chuckled: “He said I am pro. Alright.”

The cop then switches off his body camera saying: “In custody camera off.”

These moments played out before Keefe was taken to Metro headquarters and arrested for the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.

The hip-hop legend was gunned down four times aged 25 in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas.

On Friday, Nevada’s grand jury indicted Keefe with the DA adding he planned the assassination with his nephew Orlando Anderson, who had fought Shakur in a casino.

COURT APPEARANCE

Keefe was arrested near his Las Vegas home just after sunrise on Friday and made his first court appearance Wednesday morning where he appeared before District Court Judge Tara Jones.

He revealed that he had just retained counsel, but his California attorney could not appear and requested a two-week continuance.

Keefe will appear in court again on October 19.

The U.S. Sun was the first to reveal that Vegas detectives and the district attorney had worked for over a year to build a case against Keefe, who had also boasted about his role in the murder in interviews and a memoir.

It was revealed in August that they felt the evidence was so overwhelming that the former drug dealer would be charged with murder.

Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson confirmed to the media that he has been charged with one count of murder with the use of a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement.
