Suge Knight was with Tupac when the shooting occurred but refuses to name a potential shooter.
Talking to TMZ on Monday, Knight said, "Police and prosecutors are barking up the wrong tree" with the arrest. Knight also denied the longstanding rumor that Davis' nephew, Orlando Anderson, was actually the shooter.
Knight refused to speak ill of Davis, revealing they've known each other since childhood. The imprisoned ex-music mogul was in the BMW with Tupac when the deadly shots were fired.

Authorities claimed that Davis was the mastermind behind the shooting and supplied the gun that fired the fatal gunshots. Shortly before the murder, Tupac's crew had a violent run-in with Anderson inside the MGM Grand following a Mike Tyson boxing match.
Knight refused to say who fired the gun but insisted it was not Anderson. He also suggested that Davis should not take the fall for the murder. While Knight remained tight-lipped about the shooting, Davis has been openly blabbing about the fateful evening for years.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Davis bragged about the details surrounding Tupac's murder in his self-published book, Compton Street Legend, which police said played a key role in the renewed investigation.
