Tupac Shakur has claimed that his past comments regarding the shooting were simply “entertainment”.Duane “Keffe D” Davis, 60, was charged with the murder of the legendary hip-hop artist this September – 27 years after Shakur was fatally wounded from a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas.A Nevada judge set a June 3, 2024 date for the trial last month. It came shortly after Davis pleaded not guilty to the charge of open murder with use of a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement.As The Guardian reports, Davis – who has been denied bail since he was first arrested – has asked a judge to put him on house arrest ahead of his trial.
His legal representatives are also requesting that the court establish a “reasonable bail”.“Duane should not be denied bail in this case. It cannot be said that the proof is evident and the presumption great that Duane is guilty of first-degree murder for the death of Shakur,” the motion read (via Rolling Stone).“This Court should release Duane on house arrest with electronic monitoring pending trial.”A January 2 hearing date was set this week regarding Davis’ bid to be released on no more than $100,000 bail.The bail request is on the basis that an “astounding amount of hearsay and speculative testimony” emerged during grand jury proceedings.The lawyers pushed back on state reliance on excerpts from Davis’ 2019 memoir Compton Street Legend.
They claimed that the former gangster-turned-author’s comments in the book were nothing more than “entertainment”.“The truthfulness of the content of the interviews was never verified. The book and interviews were done for entertainment purposes and to make money from a situation that [Greg] Kading and others had already profited from,” Davis’ lawyers

Tupac Shakur, may allegedly be the target of a kill order.Ahead of Duane “Keffe D” Davis’ trial, who was charged with the murder of the legendary hip-hop artist in September – 27 years after Shakur was fatally wounded from a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, prosecutors have claimed that members of his family have been handed a list of witnesses and a “green light” order to kill has been given.The order was allegedly detailed during a phone call between Davis and his son on October 9 and led to at least one witness changing their residence, reports Sky News.Prosecutors Marc DiGiacomo and Binu Palal said in a court filing there were “credible threats to witnesses” that demonstrate Davis “poses a danger to the community”.Despite the allegations, there is no reference in the filing to Davis instructing anyone to harm anyone or to anyone associated with the case being harmed.But the prosecutors argue that Davis should remain behind bars until his trial begins on June 3, 2024.Davis’ lawyer, Robert Arroyo, countered the claims and questioned the alleged phone call between Davis and his son, saying witnesses were not mentioned “let alone threatened”.His lawyers have also argued that the 60-year-old is not dangerous and would not flee to avoid trial if freed from jail, where they claim he’s not receiving proper medical attention following a cancer diagnosis.Davis previously pleaded not guilty to the charge of open murder with use of a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement and claimed that his past comments regarding the shooting were simply “entertainment”.Prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty for Davis, who is the only surviving suspect in the case.
