Suspected Tupac killer Keffe D gets $750,000 bail

Duane "Keffe D" Davis, a 60-year-old former Los Angeles-area gang leader involved in the murder of famous American rapper, Tupac Amaru Shakur, has been granted a $750,000 bail.

We reported that the suspect was arrested in September 2023 and charged with murder with the use of a deadly weapon.

His arrest came two months after Las Vegas police raided his wife's residence in search for items concerning Tupac's murder.

Davis on Tuesday, appeared before the court in Las Vegas for a hearing on his potential release on bail pending his criminal trial.

His legal team argued that their client was not a danger to society, and neither was he a flight risk if they would agree for him to be bailed before the commencement of the main trial.

While maintaining his not-guilty plea, they stated that all his comments about Tupac's murder was for monetary gain and entertainment.

However, the prosecutors contended that Davis was a cold blooded killer who should not be let out on the streets.

The judge, Carli Kierny, thereafter, agreed to let him out pending trial and granted him $750,000 bail.

Kierny also stated that Keefe D would be confined to house arrest with electronic monitoring while awaiting trial.

Shakur was fatally shot on September 7, 1996, in a drive-by incident in Las Vegas at the age of 25.
