Tupac Shakur Murder Suspect Seeks Dismissal Over Constitutional Claims

Duane 'Keffe D' Davis argues that a 27-year delay, lost evidence, and unfulfilled immunity agreements undermine the case against him.

Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, the only person charged in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, has filed a motion to dismiss the case in a Nevada court.
Davis' lawyer claims the decades-long delay in prosecution has led to the loss of key evidence, dimmed memories of witnesses, and the deaths of individuals allegedly involved.
The defense argues that immunity agreements granted during Davis' 2008 and 2009 confessions should still protect him from prosecution, though prosecutors dispute the validity of these agreements.
Prosecutors contend that Davis' public admissions in media interviews and his 2019 memoir provided new evidence to reopen the case, despite the absence of the murder weapon or vehicle.
A hearing on the motion to dismiss is scheduled for January 21, with the trial still set to begin on March 17.
