Keffe D Trial: Tupac Murder Case Reopened | Reno News

The trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, accused of orchestrating Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder, has begun in Las Vegas, reigniting global hip-hop interest. At 63, Davis faces life without parole if convicted — though prosecutors claim he didn’t pull the trigger but directed the attack as revenge for a prior beating of his nephew. The shooting occurred from a white Cadillac he was allegedly in with three deceased co-conspirators. Fans and Tupac’s family have descended on court, underscoring the cultural weight of this case. Prosecutors plan to call up to 45 witnesses, while the defense counters with fewer, arguing that Davis’s memoir — which reignited the investigation — is fictionalized for profit. Davis himself contradicts his book, telling media he wasn’t even in Vegas that night. As the trial unfolds, the world watches closely for answers from a night that changed music history.
