Tupac Shakur Murder Suspect Proclaims Innocence in Jailhouse Interview

Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, charged with first-degree murder, denies involvement and claims an alibi for the 1996 shooting of the rapper.

  • Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, the only person charged in Tupac Shakur's 1996 murder, maintains his innocence in a televised jailhouse interview.
  • Davis claims he was in Los Angeles at the time of Shakur's shooting in Las Vegas and says new witness testimony supports his alibi.
  • Prosecutors allege Davis orchestrated the drive-by shooting as retaliation for a prior altercation involving Shakur and a Crips gang member.
  • Authorities built their case on Davis' own past statements, including his 2019 memoir and media appearances, which he now claims were fabricated or taken out of context.
  • The trial, originally set for March 2025, has been postponed to 2026 to allow time for review of new evidence and witness testimonies.
