Keffe D Scores 6-Month Trial Delay in Tupac Murder Case — Defense Overwhelmed by Evidence
The court has postponed the trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, the ex-Southside Compton Crips affiliate accused in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, to give his defense more time to review volumes of evidence.
The development was first reported by AllHipHop, which has been following the case since Davis’ arrest in 2023.
Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny agreed to the six-month delay following arguments by Davis’ attorney, Robert Draskovich, that he needed the extra time to go over discovery. He described the discovery as “voluminous” and in need of a close examination. Prosecutors did not object, moving the trial from February 2026 to Aug. 10, 2026.
Davis, 60, has been in custody at the Clark County Detention Center since his arrest in September 2023. He is accused of orchestrating a drive-by shooting that fatally wounded Shakur near the Las Vegas Strip almost three decades ago.
