Overview

• Duane “Keffe D” Davis appealed to the Nevada Supreme Court on July 29 to dismiss his murder charges after a district court judge rejected his motion in January.
• The defense argues that immunity agreements from federal and local interviews in 1998–99 and 2008–09 protect his statements from being used at trial under due process.
• Prosecutors maintain that Davis’s own admissions in interviews and his 2019 memoir constitute the only evidence linking him to the 1996 drive-by shooting.
• Davis, the only person ever charged in Tupac Shakur’s killing, remains held without bail at the Clark County Detention Center and has pleaded not guilty.
• His trial in Las Vegas is scheduled to begin in February 2026, nearly 30 years after Shakur was fatally shot following a Mike Tyson fight.
