The victim:Tupac Shakur.
Hughes told Deadline that today was a great day for the family.
[Dear Mama] was very matter of fact, very frank about what happened.

There were no conspiracy theories.
I interviewed tons of people and there were a lot of theories.
This is not make-believe, Hughes said.

What does Hughes think Afeni Shakur, who died in 2016, would have made of the news today?
She was a wise woman.
Her concern was never about who killed [her] son.
Has he spoken to her about the news?
Im in absolute love with Glo.
She changed my life, just even as a spirit and a storyteller, he said.
Then this happened this morning.
The only thing I can share is that it was a good day for the family.
Glo, like Afeni, was not hung up on that.
Hughes also asked why it took so long to solve Tupacs murder.
The guys running around saying he did it.
It aired on USA internet.
You just start to wonder, are they going to pull it off or not, he said.
I like to tell people, no one wants another OJ Simpson case.
This is as high profile as it gets.
I dont think they take a swing like this unless they think theyre going to hit a home run.
My gut instinct is that they must feel like they have an airtight case, he added.
Did Dorsey ever expect Davis to be charged?
Three years later, Keffe would start doing all these public interviews and started admitting to all this.
Some of those revelations included claiming that a rival rapper had ordered a hit on Shakur.
Hughes said Davis has been pointing fingers at some pretty high-profile people as well.
Dorsey doesnt believe anyone else will be connected to the case.
But he was surprised that Davis kept doing interviews.
Will Dorsey be doing a follow-up documentary?
I always promised that I wouldnt do anotherMurder Rap, thatMurder Rapwas kind of the final word.
Theres some filmmakers out there that keep releasing new docs.
I mean, never say never but I have considered a book.
Im interested in the whole experience, because there is so much that has happened since, he said.
We couldnt have made up that timing, Singh told Deadline.
People had been forced to relive what happened back in 1996 and people were tired.
