Tupac Shakur murder suspect released on bail – Music News


Duane Keith “Keefe D” Davis, the suspect in the murder of Tupac Shakur, has informed the court that he is free on bail.

Davis, the prime suspect in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, said he could post bail of $750,000 (£51,000) in Clark County District Court, Nevada.

Bail documents were filed Thursday and obtained by Billboard, and Davis is expected to appear in court on June 25 to hear bail terms and to find out where his bail will come from.

The 61-year-old has been held at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas since his arrest in September and was initially denied bail when he was taken into custody.

Davis has pleaded not guilty to Tupac's murder. His trial is scheduled for November. If convicted, he could face life in prison, but not the death penalty.

On September 7, 1996, Davis allegedly handed a gun to someone in the back seat of a Cadillac before a vehicle-to-vehicle shootout in Las Vegas left the notorious rapper dead.

He was arrested last year after speaking publicly multiple times about the night of the murder.

“One of my buddies in the back seat grabbed a Glock and started firing back,” he wrote of the night of the murder in his 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legends. “Bullets kept flying and I ducked out of the way.” He has always maintained that someone else fired the fatal shot.

The gang was charged with intent to murder, use of a deadly weapon and promoting, expanding and aiding a criminal enterprise.
