Keffe D on Trial in Tupac Shakur Killing Case

Duane “Keffe D” Davis, a former Compton gang leader, goes on trial in Las Vegas accused of masterminding Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder and providing the gun. Prosecutors tie the case to a Crips–Bloods feud linked to Death Row Records, with Davis having publicly discussed the killing in interviews and a memoir, though he now denies involvement. The prosecution seeks corroborating evidence and cooperator testimony, while the defense argues there is no physical gun or forensics linking him to the crime. Davis’s statements and potential witnesses, including Denvonta Lee, are expected to play central roles in the proceedings.
