Duane Davis Trial: The Keffe D Verdict | Spokane News

Duane Davis, aka Keffe D, stands trial for orchestrating Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder — the first person ever charged in the case. At 63, Davis admits to being present and involved, but claims it was retaliation after Tupac and Suge Knight assaulted his nephew. Prosecutors say he was the “shot caller” who directed the attack, even if he didn’t pull the trigger — aiding and abetting under Nevada law. After nine days of testimony from 24 witnesses, jurors hear Davis’ own words from interviews and his book, where he consistently places himself in the Cadillac during the shooting. Defense argues his statements were for profit, no physical evidence links him directly, and his boasts ring hollow. A key piece of evidence: surveillance footage showing the altercation between Tupac’s crew and Davis’ nephew at the MGM Grand. The case hinges on whether Davis’ words prove criminal intent — and whether history can finally deliver justice. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
