Duane "Keefe D" Davis, a self-confessed gangster and drug dealer charged with the murder of Tupac Shakur, has been granted bail at $750,000, but remains in custody as he needs to pay it. His lawyers are hopeful he can make bail and be released on house arrest. Keefe D has denied being involved in Tupac's murder despite previous confessions, and prosecutors argue that he was the "architect" of the killing. A status hearing has been scheduled for February 20, and his trial is set for June 3.
Tupac Shakur murder suspect Keefe D, who confessed to his involvement in the rapper's killing, awaits a decision on his bail as his lawyers argue for his release ahead of the murder trial, claiming he poses no risk to the public due to poor health and should be placed on house arrest. Prosecutors oppose the bail application, alleging that Keefe is involved in authorizing the killing of potential witnesses. Keefe's lawyers argue that he has no intention of fleeing and has changed his life since leaving the drug game in 2009, while Keefe claims his confessions were for fame and entertainment.
Keefe D, a suspect in the murder of Tupac Shakur, is facing a court hearing to determine if he can be released on bail. Prosecutors allege he is a threat to society and could tamper with witnesses, citing a recorded jail phone call where his son mentioned a "green light" order, which implies a hit on potential witnesses. Keefe D's defense claims his past confessions were for entertainment and denies any current gang affiliations. The judge will decide on his bail status in a hearing that will also test the credibility of his defense for the upcoming trial.
Prosecutors in Las Vegas have presented evidence suggesting that Keefe D, the man accused of ordering Tupac Shakur's murder in 1996, may be attempting to harm witnesses in the case. A jailhouse phone call indicated a "green light" order, which has led to federal intervention to protect at least one witness. Keefe D, who is currently held without bail, has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge, with his attorneys claiming his previous confessions were for entertainment and financial gain. A court hearing is scheduled for January 2 to address these allegations.
