Shakur was shot on September 7, 1996, while in a BMW stopped at a red light near the Las Vegas Strip.
A white Cadillac pulled alongside and opened fire. Shakur died six days later at age 25.
Marion "Suge" Knight, who was with him, survived with minor injuries.
According to prosecutors, Davis was in the Cadillac with three others, including his nephew Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson.
Anderson denied involvement before his death in 1998 from an unrelated shooting.
In the 2008 interview, Davis described how Anderson "popped them," referring to Shakur and Knight, but did not identify who fired the fatal shots.
Davis expressed regret in his memoir about cooperating with investigators, writing, "It kills me on the inside to know that I told them anything," as reported by NPR.
