The trial of former gang member Duane Keith "Keffe D" Davis has once again been postponed. This time, due to a flood of new evidence in the case surrounding the murder of iconic rapper Tupac Shakur. Originally set to begin on June 3 of last year, the trial has faced multiple delays, now pushing the start date to August 2026.
According to reports from KSNV, the trial was first delayed to November 4, 2024, and then again to February 9, 2026, after Keffe D acquired new legal representation. Now, his attorneys have requested yet another delay, citing the extensive amount of evidence they need to sift through. They described it as "voluminous." The prosecution did not oppose this request, and it was ultimately granted by District Court Judge Carli Kierny.
Keffe D's lawyer, Robert Draksovich, along with Michael Pandullo, took over as his attorneys after the inmate was found guilty of fighting another inmate while in the Clark County Detention Center. He received a sentence of 16 to 40 months in prison but was given credit for the time he had already served.
Keffe D has been behind bars since his arrest on September 29, 2023, in Henderson, Nevada. He has been accused of involvement in the murder of Tupac. The former gang member has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder charges related to the shooting of the beloved rapper and actor on September 7, 1996, in Las Vegas. Tupac was attending a Mike Tyson fight that evening when he was shot multiple times in a drive-by shooting. He tragically passed away six days later at the young age of 25.
Prosecutors in Las Vegas claim to have compelling evidence against Keffe D, including his own self-incriminating statements in his 2019 book, "Compton Street Legend," as well as various interviews he has given to law enforcement and media outlets since 2008.
If found guilty, Keffe D could be facing life in prison. Meanwhile, in a heartwarming turn of events, the mother and son portrayed in Tupac's song "Brenda's Got a Baby" have recently met for the first time. This powerful story serves as a reminder of the impact Tupac's music continues to have on people's lives.
