Houston, TX, August 15, 2026 —
Duane “Keffe D” Davis is currently facing trial in Las Vegas in connection with the 1996 fatal shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur.
Prosecutors contend that Davis was the orchestrator of the shooting, which took place in September 1996 following a physical altercation outside of a Mike Tyson boxing match.
The defense team for Davis is arguing that there is a lack of evidence to connect him to directing the fatal incident.
The trial proceedings are anticipated to span approximately one month. It is possible that “Suge” Knight, who was an associate of Tupac Shakur at the time of his death, may provide testimony during the trial.
Further details regarding the specific evidence presented by the prosecution and the defense’s counterarguments have not yet been fully disclosed as the trial progresses.
