Keffe D Trial Opens After 30 Years | Orlando News

The trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, accused of orchestrating Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder, has begun — nearly 30 years after the iconic rapper was fatally shot in Las Vegas. At 63, Davis faces murder charges and claims innocence, with prosecutors alleging he directed the attack and supplied the weapon. The six-week trial could include testimony from Suge Knight, who was with Tupac that night and is currently serving a 28-year sentence. Davis’ defense fought to exclude his memoir and a confidential police interview, arguing they were misleading or private — but those materials reignited the investigation in 2019. Tupac, whose global hits like “California Love” and “Dear Mama” defined an era, died just days after being shot during a drive-by near the Las Vegas Strip following a boxing match. This long-awaited trial underscores the enduring quest for justice in one of music’s most tragic and unresolved cases.
