Although Tupac’s murder saw a significant breakthrough last year, the suspect involved is reportedly scheduled to be set free.
On Friday, Duane Davis, also known as Keefe D, raised enough money to afford his $75,000 bond, securing his release from police custody while awaiting his trial, which is set to begin in November. However, Davis is expected to return to court next week, where Judge Carli Kenny will outline the terms and conditions of his release.
Earlier this year, Davis’s court-appointed attorneys petitioned for leniency, arguing that their client “poses no danger” due to his current state of health. It’s important to note that a similar request was made and denied in 2023 when Davis was considered “dangerous” for bail. To support this claim, prosecutors highlighted Davis’s gang-affiliated past and his confession to Tupac’s murder.
The 61-year-old former gang member is currently the only person charged with the death of the California rapper. Despite pleading not guilty, Davis has repeatedly mentioned being responsible for orchestrating the shooting that occurred over two decades ago.
“The truthfulness of the content of the interviews was never verified,” Davis’s lawyer stated. “The book and interviews were done for entertainment purposes and to make money from a situation that [LAPD officers] and others had already profited from.”
According to Nevada prosecutors, on the night of the incident, Tupac was involved in an altercation with Davis’s nephew, Orlando Anderson. As of today, details surrounding Tupac’s murder remain unclear, but the rapper tragically lost his life in 1996 after attending a Mike Tyson boxing match.
