Suspect in Tupac killing seeks delay as new witnesses identified

Attorneys for Duane “Keffe D” Davis, a suspect in the killing of Tupac Shakur, are seeking a delay in the trial to conduct further investigative work to ensure a fair trial. The defence team has identified witnesses who can testify that Davis was not present at the scene of the 1996 shooting. They suggest that someone else may have orchestrated the shooting and are interviewing witnesses to gather more evidence. Davis, who has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, has been in jail since his arrest in 2023. The defence argues that Davis should not have been charged due to immunity agreements with prosecutors. Prosecutors maintain strong evidence against Davis, including his own accounts of the shooting. A hearing is scheduled to discuss the timing of the trial set to begin in March.
