Sekyiwa Shakur said, "It’s important to me that the world, the country, the justice system, and our people acknowledge the gravity of the passing of this man, my brother, my mother’s son, my father’s son."
"There have been multiple hands involved and there remains so much surrounding the life and death of my brother Tupac and our Shakur family overall. We are seeking real justice, on all fronts," she claimed, as per Deadline.
She echoed Mopreme Shakur, Tupac's stepbrother, who told CNN: "We have been through decades of pain. They have known about this guy, who been running his mouth, for years."
"So why now? For us, this is not over. We want to know why, and if there were any accomplices," he added.
'Keffe D' to show up in court soon
Rapper Tupac Shakur's murder has led to the arrest of Duane Keith Davis, commonly known as "Keffe D." He was taken into custody early on Friday.
Davis is the only active suspect in the case. He is scheduled to show up in court soon to assess his custody status and set the date for a jury trial, per CNN.

Besides her advocacy work, Sekyiwa advises Amaru Entertainment, the company her mother, Afeni Shakur, formed to release the unfinished works of her late brother.
