LAS VEGAS, NV - In a significant development surrounding the long-standing mystery of Tupac Shakur’s murder, the alleged prime suspect, Keefe D (real name Duane Davis), is poised to be released from custody pending his upcoming trial. According to reports from KTNV on Friday, June 21, Keefe D has successfully raised the $750,000 required for his bond and is set to appear in court on Tuesday, June 25, for further proceedings.
Keefe D, now 61 years old and battling cancer, has been incarcerated at the Clark County Detention Center since his arrest. His release comes after his legal team petitioned for bail earlier this year, arguing that he poses no threat due to his ailing health. This appeal marks a turnaround from a previous denial of bail in late 2023, when prosecutors cited his alleged ties to the South Side Compton Crips and his prior confessions to Shakur’s murder as reasons for his continued detention.
Despite pleading not guilty to the charges, Keefe D has previously claimed responsibility for orchestrating the 1996 drive-by shooting in various public statements, including his 2019 book, "Compton Street Legend." However, his lawyers have contested the reliability of these statements, suggesting they were made for entertainment purposes and financial gain.
The case has continued to captivate public interest for decades, fueled by the rapper's enduring legacy and the mystery surrounding his untimely death at the age of 25. Shakur was fatally shot in Las Vegas following a Mike Tyson fight, an event that has since become a pivotal moment in hip-hop history.
As Keefe D prepares for his release under strict conditions yet to be determined by Judge Carli Kierny, the anticipation builds for the trial scheduled to commence in November. The outcome of these legal proceedings could finally provide closure to one of the most infamous murders in music history.
