Keffe D Moves to Suppress Evidence From 2023 Nighttime Search in Tupac Case

The defense argues the warrant lacked urgent cause and was obtained in bad faith.

Overview

  • Defense attorney Robert Draskovich filed a 24-page motion on December 22 in Clark County District Court seeking to exclude items seized during a July 2023 search of Duane “Keffe D” Davis’s Henderson home.
  • The filing says the affidavit relied on years-old statements, overstated danger, and contained defects that do not justify a nighttime raid, arguing suppression is required for bad-faith authorization.
  • An inventory attached to the motion spans 186 pages and lists seized laptops, tablets, a USB drive, suspected marijuana, a Vibe Magazine issue about Tupac, and Davis’s 2019 memoir.
  • Court records show a hearing on the suppression motion is set for January 6, and the murder trial is scheduled for August 2026.
  • Prosecutors have charged Davis with orchestrating Tupac Shakur’s 1996 killing, a case built largely on his public admissions, while he serves a 16–40 month sentence for a separate jailhouse fight and awaits a ruling on an immunity claim.
