Judge Delays Keefe D’s Tupac Murder Trial to August 10, 2026 Over Voluminous Discovery

The ruling gives defense counsel time to examine nearly 30 years of interviews, forensic reports, recorded statements.

Overview

  • Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny granted a six‑month continuance that moves the trial from February 2026 to August 10, 2026.
  • Prosecutors did not oppose the defense request for additional time to review the evidence.
  • Duane “Keefe D” Davis remains in the Clark County Detention Center and received an added 16–40 month sentence after a jail‑fight conviction with credit for time served.
  • Prosecutors allege Davis organized the 1996 drive‑by that killed Tupac Shakur as retaliation following a casino altercation involving his nephew Orlando Anderson.
  • The defense plans to argue Davis’ past accounts were exaggerated or fabricated for profit, a key claim as many potential witnesses, including Anderson, are deceased.
