Duane"Keffe D" Davis, who is accused of orchestrating the 1996 slaying of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur, right, talks to his attorney, Carl Arnold, in court at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas, Tuesday, June 25, 2024. – An ailing former Los Angeles-area gang leader has been denied release from a Las Vegas jail ahead of his trial in the 1996 killing of music legend Tupac Shakur, despite a bid by a hip-hop music figure to underwrite his $750,000 bond.
Prosecutors allege the gunfire in Las Vegas that killed Shakur stemmed from competition between East Coast members of a Bloods gang sect and West Coast groups of a Crips sect, including Davis, forto first-degree murder. His trial is scheduled for Nov. 4. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison., Kierny said she was left with more questions than answers after Davis' legal team tried to demonstrate the source of the funds.
Jones said he talked with Davis and knew he’s having a health issue. He also spoke of his own background coming from gang violence and his exit from that life. He called Davis “a monumental person in our community. Especially the urban community.”“I got cancer,” Davis said as he stood in shackles. “I’m in a life situation, and I would say anything to save my life."
“Although it’s convoluted, ... it is an illegal benefit, profiting from this crime," prosecutor Binu Palal told the judge.
