The long-running case surrounding Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder has taken another turn. Duane Keith “Keefe D” Davis’ trial has officially been pushed back due an overwhelming flood of new evidence.
KSNV reports that a Las Vegas District Court Judge set a new date for the trial to begin on August 10, 2026. The trial was initially scheduled to begin on February 9, 2026. Keefe D’s attorney, Robert Draskovich, told the court that the discovered material is “voluminous” and requires significantly more time to review. Prosecutors did not oppose the request.
Keefe D, 60 has been behind bars at the Clark County Detention Center since his 2023 arrest. He is accused of orchestrating the drive-by shooting that killed Tupac near the Las Vegas Strip nearly three decades ago.
Over the years, the former Southside Compton Crips affiliate has spoken publicly about the shooting. At times, he placed himself at the scene. Other times, he insisted he exaggerated details to sell books or land interviews. Him statements have further complicated the case and its investigation.
Keefe D remains in custody as his defense sifts through the massive case file ahead of the 2026 court date.
