Tupac Shakur's Accused Killer Seeks House Arrest Ahead of Trial

Prosecutors Argue Release Could Put Witnesses at Risk

  • Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, the man accused of orchestrating the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, is seeking to be released from jail on house arrest ahead of his June trial.
  • Davis' lawyers argue that he is in poor health, poses no danger to the community, and will not flee to avoid prosecution.
  • Prosecutors argue that Davis' release could put witnesses at risk, citing jail telephone recordings and a list of names provided to Davis' family.
  • Davis is not accused of firing the shots that killed Shakur, but faces a murder charge for allegedly providing the gun and giving the 'green light' for the killing.
  • Davis' attorneys argue that his descriptions of Shakur’s killing were 'done for entertainment purposes and to make money.'
