Overview

• A Nevada judge has postponed the trial of Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, originally set for March 2025, to February 2026 to ensure adequate preparation by the defense.
• Davis, charged with first-degree murder in connection to Tupac Shakur's 1996 death, has pleaded not guilty and claims he was not in Las Vegas at the time of the shooting.
• The defense argues new witness testimony and findings from a private investigator suggest alternative suspects, including a Death Row Records security employee, may have been involved.
• Prosecutors allege Davis orchestrated the killing as retaliation for a casino brawl between Shakur, Suge Knight, and Davis' nephew, Orlando Anderson, hours before the shooting.
• Davis previously implicated himself in his 2019 memoir, though his defense now claims those statements were for entertainment purposes and not factual.
