“I don’t think they’re going to convict him,” Wack 100 exlained. “A lot of circumstantial stuff. I think he’s a damn idiot.

I think they’re just stroking the ego of the people because there’s no murder weapon.”

Keefe D’s Bail Hearing Delayed

Duane “Keefe D” Davis will have to wait another week to receive a ruling on his bail options after a judge in Nevada delayed his hearing on Tuesday. Judge Carli Kierny pushed the date back to January 9, arguing that Keefe D’s lawyers will need more time to respond to a recent filing by the prosecution.

His legal team has requested that bail be no higher than $100,000 and would prefer he be placed on house arrest while awaiting trial. They used his colon cancer as an example of health ailments that should factor into the decision. “Duane should not be denied bail in this case,” his lawyers argued. “It cannot be said that the proof is evident and the presumption great that Duane is guilty of first-degree murder for the death of Shakur. This Court should release Duane on house arrest with electronic monitoring pending trial.”

They continued: “He is not getting his bi-monthly oncologist check-ups. Additionally, his heart health has declined. He was put back on a group of medications to try to get things under control. He has to take these medications in jail because he is unable to do the things necessary to maintain proper health.”

Police arrested Keefe D for the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur back in September, believing that he orchestrated the attack. He’s since pleaded not guilty and his trial is scheduled to begin in June 2024. As of now, he’ll be staying at Clark County Detention Center. Be on the lookout for further updates on Keefe D’s trial as well as his bail hearing on HotNewHipHop.

Keefe D Seeks House Arrest While Awaiting Tupac Murder Trial

Now that holiday festivities have wrapped for another year, we’re getting back into the swing of business as usual. Several high-profile legal cases are back in court today (January 2), from Young Thug’s YSL RICO trial resuming, to Keefe D’s latest hearing. The latter was arrested for his alleged part in Tupac’s untimely death in mid-2023 – decades after the crime originally took place. It was a major moment in hip-hop. Social media continues to debate whether or not the embattled gang member will be found guilty when his trial finally begins.

In late December, prosecutors shut down Duane Keith Davis’ request to get bail, describing him as “too dangerous” to be back outside. Despite this, the 60-year-old and his legal team remain confident that he at least deserves house arrest. As he’s back in court, Law & Crime‘s Cathy Russon is giving updates on the Las Vegas-based case via Twitter/X. “Defendant charged in the murder of 2Pac set to appear today,” she wrote early on Tuesday.

Keefe D Back in Court Today

“[Keefe D will likely] ask the judge to allow him to get out on house arrest pending trial,” she said. After spending Christmas and New Year’s Eve in the slammer, it’s likely that Davis is itching now more than ever to get back to the comforts of life before his arrest. L&C will share coverage on their YouTube channel this afternoon, and we’ll be back with any newsworthy updates here on HNHH too.

Some are sure that Keefe D is the culprit behind Tupac’s death – he’s been talking about it online for years, after all. However, the late lyricist’s biological father isn’t so sure of his guilt. In fact, Pac’s dad has even suggested that Keefe is a “pawn” that either Death Row or the government is using for their own benefit. Read more about those theories at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Prosecutors State Duane “Keefe D” Davis Should Not Receive Pre-Trial Bail

Duane 'Keffe D' Davis Charged with One Count of Murder

Duane “Keefe D” Davis attempted to receive bail ahead of his trial, but the state of Nevada believed he was too dangerous. Earlier this year, Keefe D was arrested for allegedly killing Tupac Shakur.

Keefe D and his team attempted to secure a release on his recognizance until the June trial. Once denied, the legal team attempted to get a bail no higher than $100K.

According to TMZ, prosecutors shunned the ask, citing he is a high-ranking member of the South Side Compton Crips and pointed to his confessions for involvement in the murder for years. He also is stated to have made threats to witnesses while behind bars.

The trial for Duane “Keefe D” Davis in the murder of Tupac Shakur will begin in Nevada on June 3. Keefe D will also be facing a charge for intent to assist a criminal gang.

Keefe D made a court appearance on Tuesday (Nov. 6), speaking with court-appointed attorneys and entering a plea of not guilty.

According to the AP, Keefe’s attorneys, Charles Cano and Robert Arroyo, will file documents to secure bail before trial.

Suge Knight says he will not take the stand against Duane “Keefe” Davis after the latter was arrested and charged with the murder of Tupac Shakur.

According to TMZ, Knight stated he was surprised but would not testify.

“I’m not gonna get on the stand and testify on somebody,” Knight said. “For what? I wouldn’t go, I wouldn’t testify. None of that shit.”

“There’s been many people who did not believe that the murder of Tupac Shakur was important to this police department,” said Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill. “I am here to tell you that that was simply not the case.”

According to famed court reporter Meghan Cuniff, Davis’s role is “by directly committing this crime” or aiding and abetting by giving the gun used. Also named in the indictment are his nephew Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson and two other men. All of them are dead.

A press conference on the arrest is available below.

Keefe D Is Too Dangerous For Bail In Tupac Murder Trial According To Prosecutors

Earlier this fans were intrigued by the Las Vegas Police Department all of a sudden showing renewed interest in the murder of Tupac Shakur. They executed a police raid that had to do with the murder, which happened more than 25 years ago. Then fans were stunned to find that they actually made an arrest in the case. Duane Davis, AKA Keefe D, was arrested for the murder of the legendary rapper. D has long been willing to discuss the case in interviews online and has occasionally let loose some details about his own personal involvement.

Last month after some legal tribulations related to his lawyers, Keefe D officially pleaded not guilty in the case. With the trial not due to begin until June, David was hoping to be released on bail in the meantime and get to spend the next few months at home. His lawyers called for his release in court and asked that his bail be set no higher than $100k. But the state of Nevada is fighting back. They’re claiming that he’s too dangerous to be reasonably released back into the public. They cite his previous alleged gang affiliations, reported threats he’s made against potential witnesses in the case, and his repeated discussion of his involvement with the case online as reasons he shouldn’t be freed in the meantime.

Prosecutors Argue Against Keefe D’s Bail

One of the claims that Keefe D is making is that his comments about Tupac were “entertainment.” It’s crucial to his case as he’s made some pretty incriminating claims publicly in the past. In court, he’s making the argument that many of the claims he made were exaggerated. He says they were made for the purpose of telling a more compelling story. Many online believe that Davis constantly discussing the murder in various interviews online was the primary cause of his arrest.

What do you think of the Nevada prosecutors argument that Keefe D is too dangerous to be released on bail ahead of his trial in June? Let us know in the comment section below.

Top 23 of 2023: Keefe D Indicted For Tupac Murder

Keefe D, Tupac

Coming at No. 4 on SOHH’s countdown of Top 23 moments in 2023, one of the most shocking revelations surfaced as Keefe D, in an interview, confessed to his involvement in the murder of the legendary rapper Tupac Shakur. His confession later led to his highly publicized indictment. 

3. Dry Snitching?

Who Shot Tupac?

In a March 2023 interview with VLAD TV, Duane Keith “Keefe D” Davis openly admitted to his participation in the shooting of Tupac Shakur, an incident that took place in Las Vegas in 1996. 

This revelation caught the attention of law enforcement agencies, ultimately leading to an investigation into Keefe D’s involvement. On July 18, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department conducted a raid at the home of Keefe D’s wife, seizing several items from the 1990s, including magazines, computers, hard drives, and photographs. 

Subsequently, on Sept. 29, Keefe D was arrested in Las Vegas in connection with Tupac’s murder when he confessed to being in the Cadillac that opened fire on the rapper. The arrest of Keefe D prompted the release of new security camera footage capturing his final moments with Tupac at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. 

Keefe D Faces Murder Charges

Notably, Suge Knight, who was present during the shooting, refused to testify against Keefe D during the murder trial, adding a layer of complexity to the case.

As Keefe D’s legal proceedings unfold, it is important to note that his initial court appearance, scheduled for Oct. 4, did not take place as he failed to appear. Additionally, his lawyer’s absence created another setback. Keefe D faces charges of murder with the use of a deadly weapon, along with a gang enhancement.

Keefe D’s Lawyer Seeks Reasonable Bail

Keefe D

Lawyers representing Duane “Keefe D” Davis, a key figure in the investigation of Tupac Shakur’s murder, have filed a motion requesting his release on reasonable bail. Davis’ lawyers have insisted that his past statements were strictly for entertainment purposes.

‘Reasonable Bail’

In a motion filed on Dec. 14, Keefe D’s lawyers are urging a Las Vegas judge to release him from jail pending trial or set a “reasonable bail” not exceeding $100,000. 

They argue that the evidence against Keefe D does not meet the standard of proof required to justify denying him bail. The motion states:

“This Court should release Duane on house arrest with electronic monitoring pending trial.” 

Duane “Keefe D” Davis’s attorneys argue that he should not be denied bail and that the statements he made about Tupac’s murder were for entertainment purposes. 

This request comes after Keefe D has been held in jail since his arrest in Sept. 2023. The motion also highlights concerns about his health while in detention. 

‘Entertainment Purposes’?

Regarding his remarks about Tupac’s murder, Keefe D’s lawyers claim that his words should not be taken seriously and were intended for entertainment purposes. 

They point to excerpts from his memoir, Compton Street Legend, and YouTube interviews where Keefe D alleged his nephew, Orlando Anderson, was the shooter from the Cadillac, which was a widely-held belief at the time. 

“The truthfulness of the content of the interviews was never verified,” one passage form his lawyers reads. “The book and interviews were done for entertainment purposes and to make money from a situation that [LAPD officers] and others had already profited [from].” 

Health Concerns

In addition to seeking reasonable bail, Keefe D’s lawyers cited concerns about his health while in detention. They assert that he is not receiving necessary medical check-ups and highlight his declining heart health, necessitating the resumption of medication. 

Furthermore, they describe the poor quality of the diet provided in jail, with heavily processed meals high in sodium. These factors, according to Keefe D’s lawyers, contribute to his deteriorating health.

Keefe D has entered a plea of not guilty to the murder charge and is scheduled for his next court appearance on January 2, 2024.

Duane ‘Keefe D’ Davis Granted Trial Date For Summer 2024 In Tupac Shakur Murder Case

Duane “Keefe D” Davis is set to stand trial in the murder case tied to the late Tupac Shakur. A trial date has been scheduled, following Davis’s not-guilty plea on Nov. 2. Davis faces the potential of a life sentence if convicted.

Keefe D Set For Summer 2024 Trial

Duane “Keefe D” Davis, age 60, has been granted a trial date in the murder case involving rap icon Tupac Shakur.

Clark County Judge Carli Kearney set the trial date for June 3, 2024, during a hearing on November 7. Davis, who entered a not-guilty plea on November 2, could face a life sentence if convicted. Though he will not face the death penalty, Davis remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court for a status check on January 3, 2024.

The trial date announcement comes after Davis’ bid for former attorney Ross Goodman was unsuccessful. Instead, two special public defenders, Robert Arroyo and Charles Cano, have been appointed to represent Davis in the murder case. 

Davis has been in custody since September 2023, when he was charged with the death of Tupac Shakur, which occurred in September 1996.

Keefe D Denies Involvement In Tupac Shakur’s Murder, Pleads Not Guilty

Keefe D appeared in a Nevada court and pleaded not guilty to the murder of Tupac Shakur in 1996. Davis, who failed to meet the terms of a payment agreement with his original attorney, attended the proceeding without private legal representation and was represented by public defenders Robert Arroyo and Charles Cano. He is the first person to be arrested in direct connection with the decades-old murder case that has puzzled investigators for years.

Not Guilty?

On Thursday, Nov. 2, during his court appearance, Keefe D, also known as Duane Keith Davis, who has admitted being in the car from which Tupac Shakur was shot, maintained that he did not fire the fatal shots and pointed to another individual as the shooter.

While detailing his involvement in interviews such as VLADTV and his memoir, Davis now faces charges of murder, use of a deadly weapon, and intent to promote or assist a criminal gang. Clark County District Court Judge Tierra Jones informed Davis that prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty. However, if found guilty of the murder charge, Davis could face life in prison.

Keefe D Faces Trial Without Legal Representation Due to Financial Constraints

Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the individual accused of the murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur, is facing yet another hurdle in court. With his upcoming trial, he finds himself powerless and unable to afford a lawyer. 

In Court With No Lawyer?

Duane “Keefe D” Davis recently appeared in a Nevada courtroom without legal representation after losing his bid to hire a local defense attorney, leaving him to navigate the complex legal proceedings alone. 

The murder case of Tupac Shakur, which dates back to September 1996, has resurfaced with Keefe D in the spotlight. During a recent hearing on Nov. 2, Davis stood before the court without a lawyer, having been unable to secure the services of attorney Ross Goodman. 

Prior to that on Nov. 1, the judge inquired if Goodman was representing Davis, to which Goodman replied, “I’m not confirming that today.” Goodman, who conversed with Davis in mid-October 2023, argued that the prosecutors lacked substantial evidence and credible witnesses against his client. 

Davis Unable To Afford A Lawyer

Unfortunately, Davis was unable to reach mutually agreeable terms for a payment agreement with Goodman, which led to their inability to move forward with their professional relationship. Consequently, Davis is left with no other option but to rely on a public defender for his murder trial. 

This financial constraint hampers his ability to mount a robust defense and raises concerns about the fairness of the legal proceedings.

On Twitter (X), users expressed their opinions regarding Davis’s inability to afford legal representation. Commenters speculated about the potential implications, with one user pronouncing, “It’s over for you KEEFE D,” while another user bleakly asserted, “Bro don’t even got a chance.” 

Prosecutors hold the view that Davis implicated himself in the killing during multiple interviews and through his 2019 memoir titled Compton Street Legend, wherein he chronicled his experiences leading a Crips gang in Compton.  The trial’s start date remains unconfirmed.

Keefe D’s Arraignment Delayed Again, Lawyer Uncertain About Representation

Duane “Keefe D” Davis, a key figure in the murder case of rap icon Tupac Shakur, faced yet another setback in court. During his arraignment, the proceedings took an unexpected turn as his lawyer requested more time to determine their representation, leaving many questions about the progress of Davis’s defense in this high-profile case.

Another Setback

Duane “Keefe D” Davis faced another setback in his recent court appearance in the murder case of rap icon Tupac Shakur. On October 19, the 60-year-old appeared in Clark County Court, only to have his arraignment postponed once again. 

The hearing lasted only a few seconds as his lawyer stated the need for more time to determine their representation. Davis stands accused of orchestrating the “retaliation shooting” that resulted in Tupac’s death. 

No Progress Yet?

Davis, sporting a graying beard and wearing a blue jail jumpsuit and shackles, stood before the judge in Clark County Court. However, his arraignment was over almost as soon as it began. 

His lawyer informed the court that they could not assert their representation and requested an additional two weeks to figure it out. Davis was indicted by a Clark County grand jury on one count of open murder with a deadly weapon, with a gang enhancement added due to his alleged involvement in Tupac’s murder. 

Since his arrest on September 29, Davis has been in custody awaiting trial. However, the exact trial date has yet to be confirmed, further prolonging the legal proceedings.

Dangerous Confessions

According to the police, Davis confessed to being present in the white Cadillac from which the fatal shots were fired at Tupac. 

However, he maintains that he was not the actual shooter, claiming to have provided the gun and organized the “retaliation shooting.” The ongoing investigation aims to establish the full extent of Davis’s involvement in the crime.

A shocking confession has come to light as a recently resurfaced video clip reveals Duane “Keefe D” Davis admitting Diddy hired him for the murder of the late rapper Tupac Shakur. The revelation has reignited the long-standing conspiracy theories surrounding Tupac’s untimely demise, leaving fans and the music industry stunned and outraged.

Updated By: Chris Samuel (10/19/23 at 3:45 pm)

More Dark Secrets Revealed?

The new clip resurfaced on Monday, October 9, and it was a video interview conducted in 2008 by former LAPD detective Greg Kading, Davis provided chilling details about the alleged plot. According to Davis, Diddy approached him and his associates from the South Side Crips with an offer to kill Tupac. Davis quotes Diddy as saying:

“S*it, he said he’d give us anything for them dudes’ heads, you know,” and “Man, I need to get rid of these guys.” 

The incentive for carrying out the murder, as disclosed by Davis, was  $1 million.

The resurfacing of this video on Twitter (X) has sent shockwaves on social media, with users expressing their disbelief and disapproval. One user commented, “If this is true, this is sick!” while another shared, “SMH I can’t f*ck wit Puff no more man; this is crazyyyy.” 

The implications of Diddy’s alleged involvement in Tupac’s death have left many questioning their perception of the music mogul.

Las Vegas ‘96

Davis, who was present in the white Cadillac that fired the shots at the late rapper on September 7, 1996, in Las Vegas, is the sole survivor among the individuals in the vehicle.

The other occupants, Davis’ nephew Orlando Anderson, Terrence Brown, and Deandrae Smith, have since passed away. Adding to the complexity of the case is Eric “Zip” Martin, who apparently knew about Diddy’s supposed offer and provided Davis with a firearm to carry out the murder after Anderson was assaulted by Tupac and his Death Row entourage at the MGM Grand hotel that fateful night. 

The resurfacing of this video came shortly after Davis’ arrest for Tupac’s murder on Friday, September 29, marking a significant turn in the ongoing investigation.

Retired Detective Testifies In Tupac Murder Case, Claims Link To Biggie’s Murder

A retired Las Vegas Metropolitan Police detective recently testified before a grand jury in the ongoing Tupac Shakur murder case. The former detective who was involved in the original investigation dropped a bombshell revelation, suggesting a possible link between Tupac’s murder and the infamous killing of fellow rap legend Notorious B.I.G. in 1997. 

A Theory Yet To Be Explored

Clifford Mugg, A retired Las Vegas Metropolitan Police detective, recently testified before a grand jury in the ongoing Tupac Shakur murder case. In his testimony, Mugg stated that individuals linked to both murders, including Biggie, were involved, suggesting a potential connection that has long perplexed the music industry.

Mugg’s testimony came in light of the recent arrest of Duane “Keefe D” Davis for Tupac’s murder. 

During his time on the witness stand, Mugg boldly asserted that the two murders were linked, raising eyebrows and prompting further questions about the motives and individuals behind the killings. While Mugg did not provide explicit details regarding the connection, his careful choice of words suggested a theory that ties both cases together. 

Possible Connection Between The Crimes

Prosecutor Marc DiGiacomo sought to clarify Mugg’s statement during the testimony:

“When you say they were related, you’re not saying perpetrated by the same individuals?” Mugg replied, “That’s correct.”

Mugg clarified that he was not claiming the same perpetrators were involved in both cases, suggesting a more complex relationship between the crimes. This leaves room for speculation and raises the possibility of overlapping motives or a larger conspiracy surrounding the deaths of the two late rappers. 

‘Talked His Way Right Into Jail’

The revelations from Mugg’s testimony have led to renewed efforts by law enforcement to uncover the truth and bring justice to the families of the slain rappers. One key figure in Mugg’s testimony was Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who had recently been apprehended for Tupac’s murder. 

Mugg stated that Davis had “talked his way right into jail” by speaking openly in interviews about his alleged involvement in the shooting of the rap icon. 

According to Mugg’s testimony, Davis’s motive for speaking out was purely financial, with his memoir and interviews aimed at profiting from the tragic events surrounding Tupac’s death. Davis has not been sentenced for Tupac’s murder.

New Details Emerge About Tupac’s Murder As Keefe D Makes His First Court Appearance

Keefe D, also known as Duane Davis, made his first court appearance in Los Angeles for his alleged involvement in the murder of rap legend Tupac Shakur in 1996. In addition, new details have surfaced regarding the chain of events leading up to Tupac’s fatal shooting.

No Show

In his first court appearance on Oct. 4 for the Tupac murder case, Duane “Keefe D” Davis faced a setback when his lawyer failed to show up, leading to a two-week delay in his arraignment.

 The court appearance marked a significant moment for Davis, who is charged with one count of murder with the use of a deadly weapon, along with a gang enhancement. However, due to the absence of his attorney, the legal proceedings could not move forward for the time being.

Who Shot Ya?

Meanwhile, filmmaker Nick Broomfield, known for his documentary Tupac & Biggie, shared his perspective on the arrest of Keefe D in a recent Rolling Stone interview. 

Broomfield highlighted an interview with retired Los Angeles police detective Greg Kading, who had previously interviewed Davis over a drug dealing charge. Kading struck a deal with Davis, reducing his drug sentence in exchange for an open confession about Tupac’s killing. Broomfield also added:

“He got Keefe D on tape, admitting to being in the car and supplying the murder weapon to his nephew, Orlando Anderson, who carried out the shooting.” 

Broomfield also hypothesized the reason it took so long to charge Keefe D:

“Maybe the reason it took so long for them to actually charge Keefe D was because the next question would always be, ‘Who killed Christopher Wallace?’” referring to Biggie’s real name. 

More Details Emerge

Moreover, new information has emerged about the events leading up to Tupac’s murder. A brawl between Keefe D’s affiliated gang, the Compton South Side Crips, and the Death-Row affiliated Mob Piru Bloods occurred at a Southern California mall shortly before the night of the fatal shooting. 

Notably, a brawl also occurred on the night of Tupac’s shooting. Orlando Anderson, a member of the Crips, was seeking revenge after being jumped in an MGM hotel elevator by the same group.

Anderson, Keefe D, and two other individuals named Terrance Brown and Deandrae Smith were in a white Cadillac on the night of the shooting. 

Denvonta Lee, an affiliate of the Compton South Side Crips, testified to a grand jury that Smith, not Anderson, fired the shots that killed Tupac. The reason behind the decision was Smith having a clearer shot. 

‘Compton Street Legend’

Keefe D is the only surviving individual involved in the incident. In his memoir, Compton Street Legend, Keefe D claimed that Anderson had fired the fatal shots, but Smith wanted Anderson to have the glory. 

The word around Compton at the time was that Anderson sought retribution for the beating he endured at the MGM Hotel. Since his recent court appearance, Keefe D has remained tight-lipped about any further details regarding the shooting.

Tupac’s Final Moments Captured in Security Footage + Suge Knight Declines To Testify Against Keefe D

Tupac Shakur’s untimely death in 1996 has remained a mystery for over two decades. However, shortly after Keefe D was detained, new security camera angles from his final moments at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas emerged, shedding light on the events leading up to his tragic demise. Furthermore, Suge Knight has confirmed that he refuses to testify against Keefe D in the upcoming murder trial.

Tupac Shakur’s Final Moments

New footage angles from Tupac’s final moments have been recently revealed. The footage, obtained on Oct. 3, captures Tupac, accompanied by Suge Knight and other Death Row Records members, storming through the casino after a confrontation with Orlando Anderson

In a surprising turn of events, Suge Knight has recently refused to cooperate and testify regarding the incident, leaving many wondering about the truth behind Tupac’s murder.

These new camera angles provide a closer look at the events leading up to the fateful encounter, offering a fresh perspective on the incident that has long puzzled investigators.

Photos of Shakur’s BMW

In addition to the security footage, KLAS-TV has obtained never-before-seen photos of the late rap legend’s infamous BMW, which has been listed for sale at a staggering price of nearly $2 million. 

These photos include interior shots of the vehicle, allowing us to visualize the space Tupac occupied during that fatal night. The exterior close-ups display the brutal aftermath of the shooting, further emphasizing the tragedy of his untimely death.

Who Shot Ya?

Amidst these new developments, one key figure remains silent. Keefe D, who was taken into custody by Las Vegas detectives on Sept. 29, and charged with murder with the use of a deadly weapon, has claimed not to be the triggerman. However, he admitted to handing off the gun to someone else. 

Authorities in Clark County assert that even those who aid and abet in a murder can be charged with the crime, raising questions about Keefe D’s culpability in Tupac’s death.

Suge Knight Says No

The only other living witness to the events of that fateful night is Suge Knight, the former CEO of Death Row Records. However, Knight has refused to offer cooperation or provide testimony, stating: 

 “I ain’t sayin’ sh** about it.” 

His decision to remain tight-lipped adds another layer of mystery to the already complex case, leaving investigators and fans of Tupac frustrated by the lack of answers.

BREAKING: Arrest Made in Tupac Shakur Murder Case – Key Suspect Detained

In a shocking turn of events, Las Vegas police have recently arrested Duane “Keefe D” Davis in connection with the murder of the late rap legend Tupac Shakur. The arrest has sent shockwaves through the music and law enforcement communities.

Justice For Tupac: Keefe D Arrested 

On the morning of September 29, Duane “Keefe D” Davis was arrested by Las Vegas police in connection with the murder of the late rap legend Tupac Shakur. 

Keefe D has been a long-standing suspect in the murder of the late rap icon, a case that has remained unsolved for over two decades. While the exact charges against Keefe D have not been officially confirmed, authorities have indicated that they will be disclosed in a later indictment.

‘Compton Street Legend’

Davis’s name has loomed over the Tupac Shakur murder investigation for years. His involvement in the case has been widely speculated and discussed, further fueled by his 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend, in which he revealed details about the fateful night. 

According to Davis, he was present in the Cadillac that opened fire on the All Eyez On Me artist when the fatal shots were fired on September 7 in Las Vegas. Shakur, who was in the passenger’s seat, sustained multiple gunshot wounds and tragically succumbed to his injuries six days later.

The Police Raid

In July 2023, the investigation took a significant turn when police raided Davis’s wife’s residence in Henderson, Nevada. Authorities were searching for potential evidence linked to Keefe D’s involvement in Tupac Shakur’s murder. During the raid, they discovered a trove of electronic devices, including a Pokeball USB Drive, an iPhone, three iPads, four laptops, a tablet, a desktop computer, and several hard drives. 

The authorities also seized copies of Compton Street Legend and a Vibe Magazine featuring Shakur, along with two “black tubs” of photographs, as detailed in the search warrant.

Furthermore, the police were on the lookout for handwritten notes, letters, or any written material that could shed light on Keefe D’s role or knowledge about the events surrounding Tupac Shakur’s murder.

Keefe D Indicted For Tupac Murder After Interview Confession

Keefe D faced imminent charges in connection to the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. In an interview with VLAD TV, the former Southside Compton Crips member confessed to assisting in the shooting of the iconic rapper. 

Dark Secrets Revealed?

After a March 2023 interview with VLAD TV, Duane Keith “Keefe D” Davis is facing imminent charges in connection to Tupac’s 1996 Las Vegas shooting. It appears Keefe admitted to assisting in shooting the late rapper.

Law enforcement has built a case against Keefe D and is prepared to present it to a Las Vegas grand jury. On July 18, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department raided a home belonging to Keefe D’s wife, Paula Clemons, and seized various items, including magazines, computers, hard drives, and photos from the 1990s. 

They also confiscated Keefe D’s book, Compton Street Legend, in which he detailed his involvement in the shooting. The former Crip revealed that he was in the white Cadillac that pulled up next to Tupac and Suge Knight during the fatal shootout. 

According to Keefe, he and Suge are the only remaining living witnesses to the murder. 

Keefe D Speaks 

Greg Kading, a former LAPD detective who investigated the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls, called for the raid on Keefe D’s home. Keefe D claimed:

“I did a deal with the U.S. attorneys and the dudes from D.C. [Justice Department].. It was a way bigger time where people were gonna go downwards.. A lot of people were gonna go down.. If I wouldn’t have said nothing, we lost our whole community, lost all my homies, they shredded in an indictment, so I really did a lot of people a favor, they should be thanking me.”

However, his admissions in various interviews could now be used as evidence against him. Keefe D accused Kading of doing “crooked” work and withheld information about recording their conversation. Davis stated, “I would have never said nothing if I knew he had a f*cking thing [recorder] in his pocket.” 

Possible First-Degree Murder Charges

Authorities are considering first-degree murder charges against Keefe D, and a grand jury will convene in September 2023 to decide whether there is enough evidence to prosecute him. The investigation into Keefe’s connection to Tupac’s murder has been meticulous, as the authorities stated: 

“The homicide team did not enter into this investigation lightly… They knew that the world would be watching if they took any action against Keefe. They do not want to make any missteps. One key aspect was building a strong case and file of evidence detailing how Keefe was one of the four suspects in the car, was pivotal in the actual murder, then the destruction of critical evidence.”

As details continue to emerge, Keefe D’s role in the murder of Tupac Shakur is becoming clearer. The infamous BMW that Tupac was driving on the night of the shooting is now being sold for $1.75 million. Law enforcement hopes to uncover more information about what happened that night by investigating the vehicle. 

Pop Smoke Killer Found Dead

Additionally, in a separate case, the connection between the tragic murder of New York rapper Pop Smoke and a disturbing discovery in Malibu has recently come to light. California police discovered the body of Javonnta Murphy, the brother of one of the suspects arrested for the late rapper’s murder, inside a barrel that washed ashore on July 31.

Keefe D Says His Comments On 2Pac Are “Entertainment”

Keefe D says that the various interviews he’s given over the years discussing the death of 2Pac were for “entertainment” and that he was operating under the assumption he had immunity. His legal team made the argument in a new court filing obtained by AllHipHop, ahead of his upcoming murder trial. Additionally, his legal team says the comments he made in the interviews are unverified.

His lawyers say prosecutors “did not introduce any independent evidence connecting Duane Davis to the shooting” and instead used Keefe D’s book, Compton Street Legend, as well as “an astounding amount of hearsay.”

“The book and video interviews were produced for a financial benefit under the belief that Duane had immunity.” Keefe D’s attorneys continued. “The truthfulness of the content of the interviews was never verified. The book and interviews were done for entertainment purposes and to make money from a situation that Kading and others had already profited.” With their filing, the lawyers argue their client should be released prior to trial. They say he is “not a threat to the community,” nor “a flight risk.” He will even offer to wear an ankle bracelet.

Police first arrested Keefe D back in September and charged him with first-degree murder in the infamous 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. He spoke about the killing in numerous interviews over the last two decades, as recently as earlier this year with VladTV. His next court date is set for January 2, while his trial will begin in June. Be on the lookout for further updates on Keefe D’s case on HotNewHipHop.

2Pac’s Father Calls Keefe D A “Pawn” Used By Death Row Or The Government

During a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue, 2Pac’s biological father Billy Garland shared his thoughts on the arrest of Keefe D, who’s been charged with his son’s murder. He suggested that the government used the alleged Crip as a “tool,” insinuating that there were larger forces at play in 2Pac’s murder. Garland says he’s numb to Keefe D’s arrest, as he doesn’t believe it resolves the true injustice that led to his son’s death.

“He’s not a very intelligent individual,” he said of Keefe D. “When you go on air and say you participated in a high-scale assassination, eventually it’s gonna come back on you. I’m surprised he went that far and that long without them arresting him… He was in the car — that’s aiding and abetting in a murder! But he was doing his part with the rest of the people who were talking about the Orlando Anderson — he was fulfilling that glitch and adding to their truth, which we all know wasn’t true.”

Billy Garland On Keefe D’s Arrest

He went on, noting how he’s not satisfied with Keefe D’s arrest. “I’m just as empty by the loss of my son as the rest of the world is,” he described. “I have no feelings about it whatsoever because it’s not true. It’s not the truth. It’s just another pawn being moved in the game of chess to create that continuous story that we don’t know who did it. And that’s what they want.”

“Everybody can see through this thin veil of deceit,” Garland also added. “It’s ridiculous. I don’t think we’ll ever find out who really did the shooting. But we know it wasn’t no one individual. Keefe D might have been involved in it, but he was a pawn — maybe by the government, maybe by Death Row.” What do you think of 2Pac’s father’s take on Keefe D’s arrest?

From there, Ice discussed other shootings that 2Pac was involved in prior to the fatal Las Vegas drive-by in 1996. “How can a guy have all these bullets flying at him and still, you know what I’m saying? It’s a cr*zy story, and I got to really watch what I say on all this because I do know too much,” Ice said. “I’m not going to elaborate fair enough, so I let that unfold, and I’m glad it’s unfolding, and I’m glad that some justice may be getting done, but it ain’t going to bring him back, bro, and we lost a great person because of greed, money, power. We lost a great poet.” Check out Vanilla Ice’s full comments on 2Pac below.
