A Nevada judge has rescheduled the trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, who is being tried for his alleged involvement in the killing of controversial rapper, Tupac Shakur. According to The Associated Press,

Duane “Keefe D” Davis’ long-awaited murder trial for his alleged role in the 1996 shooting death of rapper Tupac Shakur has been postponed until 2026. Originally scheduled for March 2025, the delay came after Davis’ attorney filed a motion on Feb. 14, requesting more time to prepare.

The trial for Duane “Keffe D” Davis, who's alleged involvement in the murder of rap icon Tupac led to his 2023 arrest, has been delayed almost a year.

Keefe D will still stand trial in April of this year, though, based on a separate incident which occurred last year while he was incarcerated.

Attorneys for Duane “Keffe D” Davis filed a motion Friday in a Nevada court, stating that Davis’ defense has identified witnesses who can testify that he was not present at the shooting, despite his alleged self-implication in his memoir, “Compton Street Legend,” KSNV reported.

Davis, a former gang leader, has publicly spoken about Tupac’s murder multiple times, including in his 2019 book Compton Street Legend. While prosecutors have pointed to his book as evidence, his attorneys argue that it was co-authored and that his exact statements remain unclear.

The man accused of orchestrating the murder of Tupac Shakur wants a judge to delay his upcoming trial, citing a private investigator's identification of new witnesses, court documents filed Friday said.
