Keffe D. Davis Goes to Trial Over Tupac Shakur Killing
TL;DR
Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, a former Crips leader, goes on trial in Las Vegas for murder with a deadly weapon in Tupac Shakur’s 1996 killing. Jury selection begins in Clark County District Court, and the trial is expected to last about a month. Prosecutors say Davis helped orchestrate the shooting and provided the gun, though the case is not expected to reveal who fired the fatal shots. The prosecution plans to call 35–45 witnesses, including figures from Shakur’s circle and gang experts; Knight’s testimony is uncertain as he is imprisoned elsewhere, and Davis’ defense will call a limited number of witnesses. A public seating lottery and a live-feed room will accommodate observers.
