Orlando Tive "Baby Lane" Anderson, a member of the South Side Compton Crips gang, reportedly bragged about killing Tupac Shakur years before his own demise.
Decades after Tupac Shakur died, several names emerged as the shooter's identity has yet to be identified. One of the individuals was Anderson, who died in 1998 after sustaining a gunshot wound during an encounter with Corner Poccet gang members.
Amid the ongoing hearings, a former member of the Compton PD Gang unit revealed shocking information about the prime suspect.
Orlando Anderson's Connection to Tupac Shakur's Murder
In an interview with Vlad TV, retired cop Robert Ladd said there was a miscommunication between the Las Vegas Police Department and the Compton PD after Tupac Shakur's death.
"Understandably so, if I was Las Vegas PD, I would be hesitant to call too because you're like, 'What's going on?'" he said. "Reggie Jr. is the head of security, and his dad is the head of the gang unit, right? So I would kind of be hesitant too."
Reggie Sr. reportedly called Las Vegas but ended up getting "dissed."
According to Ladd, the chief wanted to take Reggie Sr. off the case and put him and Blondie as the liaisons.
He also revealed that police in Las Vegas told him who the shooter was days after the incident. Informants also emerged, saying it was Keefe D and that Anderson was a shooter.
"This is days after informants telling us, and it's not just us. Other people had informants too," he continued, adding that the informants allegedly named all four people in the car.
The Los Angeles Times reported Anderson's death in a report, saying that the potential suspect was killed in a shootout.

Meanwhile, Keefe D was arrested on September 29, 2023, in Las Vegas following the search in July.
According to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill, Keefe D was the ringleader of the group that allegedly killed the rapper.
"For 27 years, the family of Tupac Shakur has been waiting for justice," said McMahill, per CNN. "The investigation started on the night of September 7th, 1996. It is far from over. It has taken countless hours, really decades, of work by the men and women of our homicide section to get to where we are today."
