Murder Charge Against “Keffe D” Remains in Place

The murder trial surrounding Tupac Shakur remains on course: On January 21, 2025, Judge Carli Kierny in Las Vegas rejected Duane “Keffe D” Davis’s motion to dismiss the murder charge.

No Immunity in Nevada

In her assessment, it is “fairly clear” that the state of Nevada never promised Davis immunity. Kierny also rejected the claim of a tactical delay: The fact that many individuals involved have since died, including three of the men alleged to have been in the Cadillac with Davis, provided a “pretty significant” justification for the late timing.

Prosecutor Points to Public Statements

Prosecutor Marc DiGiacomo argued that Davis had “publicly confessed to a crime multiple times” himself. His attorney, Carl Arnold, announced that he would consider taking the matter to the Nevada Supreme Court.

Davis denies the crime and is presumed innocent until a court rules otherwise. The overview: The investigation.
