Tupac Shakur Murder Trial Delayed Until 2026

A Nevada judge postponed the trial of Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, citing new defense developments and the need for a fair proceeding.

The trial for Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, the only person charged in Tupac Shakur's 1996 killing, has been rescheduled for February 9, 2026.
The delay follows a motion from Davis' defense team, which argued that additional time is needed to investigate new witness testimony and evidence.
Davis' attorneys claim to have identified witnesses who can testify that he was not at the scene of the shooting, despite his past statements implicating himself.
Prosecutors argue they have strong evidence against Davis, while the defense challenges the validity of decades-old allegations and raises questions about the circumstances of Shakur's death.
Davis, a former gang leader, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and remains in custody following his September 2023 arrest.
