Keffe D Called Tupac WHAT Before He Died?

from Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary · host True Crime Today

Duane "Keffe D" Davis spent decades telling anyone who'd listen exactly what happened the night Tupac Shakur died. This week his own recorded words became the prosecution's closing argument. This recap covers Wednesday's and Thursday's testimony in the Keffe D murder trial in one pass — the case the defense says was never anything but a paid fiction, cooked up for a book deal. The state opened this stretch with retired Compton gang detective Robert Ladd, who spent years inside the department's two-man gang unit tracking the South Side Compton Crips. Ladd told the jury the specific rank Davis held in that gang, and why it matters — it's the difference between someone who follows an order and someone who hands one down. Tupac's childhood friend Malcolm Greenidge followed him to the stand, laying out where the shots actually came from that night and what Tupac had lined up before it all ended, from a new label to a sit-down already booked with Quincy Jones. Crime scene analysts then detailed what a 2023 raid on Davis's Henderson home turned up — including his own memoir and newspaper clippings about the murder that had apparently sat untouched in that house for years. By the close, prosecutors had called twenty-five witnesses over eight days, and they ended on jail calls: Davis complaining that his own statements were being used against him, Davis promoting his book on YouTube as "the real truth," and one call in particular where Davis's description of Tupac goes straight at motive. The defense opens its own case next with a detective and two police officers on the witness list. Closing arguments are scheduled for Monday, and by then Davis will have decided whether he testifies in his own defense.
