Day 7 | The Trial of Keffe D: Who Killed Tupac?

Day 7 of the Duane “Keefe D” Davis Murder Trial: Tupac’s Final Warning and the Shot Caller’s World On Day 7 of the high-stakes murder trial of Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the man accused of orchestrating the 1996 drive-by killing of Tupac Shakur, the jury heard chilling first-hand testimony from one of the rapper’s closest friends and a deep dive into the gang hierarchy that prosecutors say put Davis at the top of the chain of command. Malcolm Greenidge, better known as E.D.I. Mean of the Outlawz, took the stand under a court order after initially resisting. A childhood friend, mentor figure, and group member who called Tupac a big brother, Greenidge described riding in the caravan behind Suge Knight’s BMW on the night of September 7, 1996, as the group headed toward Club 662.He watched a light-colored four-door Cadillac pull alongside the BMW. Shots erupted from the back seat. He saw an arm and a gun extend from the vehicle — the arm appearing to belong to a Black man. Horrified, he later approached the stopped BMW, only to hear the wounded Tupac warn him: “Get on the ground, they’re going to shoot you.” Moments later, a police shotgun was pointed in his face. The day also featured testimony from crime scene analysts who processed the 2023 search of Davis’s Henderson home, recovering production budgets, copies of Compton Street Legend, a 1996 Vibe magazine, and a scrapbook filled with contemporary newspaper clippings about Tupac’s murder. A firearms technician confirmed that all seven .40-caliber casings recovered from the original crime scene were fired from the same gun, with no matches in the national ballistic database. Former Compton police gang detective Robert Ladd closed out key portions of the day by painting a clear picture of South Side Compton Crips structure. He identified Davis as a high-ranking “shot caller” and major narcotics dealer — the kind of OG who could order younger members to act and expect compliance. If Davis was in that Cadillac, Ladd testified, any shooting would have required his authorization.Timestamps:07:34 Home Search Evidence10:50 Juror Knows Witness14:25 Cartridge Case Analysis17:59 Compton Gang Expert29:19 Davis and Southside Crips2:00:46 Little Owl's Custody2:04:44 Field Cards and IdentityFor commercial free early releases, bonus episodes and more! https://www.patreon.com/exposedpodcastfilesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/exposed-scandalous-files-of-the-elite--6073723/support.
