Overview
- DuanE “Keefe D” Davis’s lawyers asked a Clark County judge to throw out evidence taken in a July 2023 search of his Henderson home, calling the raid unlawful.
- The motion claims the warrant application wrongly portrayed Davis as a current gang leader and drug dealer despite decades‑old convictions and his present circumstances.
- Defense counsel argues officers sought nighttime authorization in bad faith and that Nevada law requires case‑specific urgency or safety risks rather than generic concerns.
- Police have said a nighttime approach allowed them to secure the area if Davis barricaded himself, and District Attorney Steve Wolfson has emphasized that prosecutors vetted admissible evidence before charging.
- Davis has pleaded not guilty to first‑degree murder in Tupac Shakur’s 1996 killing, and the case is advancing toward a 2026 trial as the court considers the suppression motion.
