Tupac Shakur Murder Suspect Pleads Not Guilty, Attorney Withdraws

Duane Keith Davis, also known as Keffe D, has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge in the killing of rapper Tupac Shakur. Davis, who has openly discussed his involvement in the gang-orchestrated shooting, entered his plea during his arraignment. The case, which had been dormant for years, was thrust back into the public eye with Davis's indictment. The investigation into Shakur's murder had stalled due to a lack of cooperation from witnesses, but Davis's own words about his involvement reignited the case. He is now represented by the public defender's office but hopes to retain a high-profile defense lawyer.
