Nevada man Duane Davis has been indicted for the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur.
Las Vegas police arrested the 60-year-old on Friday morning.
Mr Davis, 60, was the “on-ground, on-site commander” who “ordered the death” of the legendary hip-hop star, according to Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo.
In July, the Vegas police raided a home connected to the man in the nearby city of Henderson as part of their ongoing investigation.
Shakur was shot in a drive-by shooting in Vegas on 7 September, 1996, and died nearly a week later in a hospital at age 25.
The rapper’s death has gone unsolved for decades with no arrests, and has been subject to numerous conspiracy theories.
