Judge Denies Dismissal of Tupac Murder Case Against Keffe D, Trial Set for March 2025

A Las Vegas judge has denied Duane 'Keffe D' Davis's motion to dismiss the murder charge against him in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, ruling that Davis failed to prove any claims of immunity or that the 27-year delay in prosecution violated his constitutional rights. Judge Carli Kierny stated that Nevada had never offered Davis immunity and found no merit in his defense's arguments regarding the delay. The case against Davis, which is supported by his own admissions in past interviews and a memoir, is set to go to trial on March 17, 2025. Davis, who has pleaded not guilty, expressed disbelief at the decision and is reportedly considering an appeal to the state Supreme Court. The prosecution maintains that the evidence against Davis is strong, including his acknowledgment of his involvement in the shooting. Davis, a former gang leader, has been in custody since his arrest in September 2023.
