The outspoken gangster has given many interviews and published a memoir boasting about his role in the murder of the hip hop legend.
Keefe confessed that he was riding along in the car with his nephew, Orlando Anderson, and ultimately handed him the murder weapon that took Tupac's life.
He alleged that they planned to murder Tupac for revenge, claiming that the rapper had beat up his cousin after a fight in Las Vegas.
In a dramatic excerpt, Keefe recalled that he tossed the murder weapon into the back of the Cadillac, where his Anderson was sitting.
Keefe said it appeared Tupac was also reaching down for a weapon, but Keefe's side fired first, killing the legendary rapper.
He also said that he hid the car and gun following the shooting, making it more difficult for law enforcement to track them down.
Tupac, 25, was rushed to the hospital, and died a week after the shooting.
For almost 27 years, Tupac's murder has remained unsolved. But that could change as evidence mounts against Keefe.

Las Vegas detectives took Keefe into custody on Friday morning.
While the charges have not been announced, investigators suggested they were optimistic about bringing a charge in the case back in August.
In July, cops were seen searching a home in Henderson, Las Vegas, believed to be an address connected to Keefe D.
Metro Police declined to comment when approached by The U.S. Sun, saying: "This is still an ongoing investigation."
