Duane “Keffe D” Davis’ trial on charges related to rapper’s 1996 death moves from November to March 2025
A judge has again denied bail to Tupac Shakur murder suspect Duane “Keffe D” Davis over doubts about the source of the bond money.
At a July hearing, Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny rejected a $112,500 down payment to secure Davis’ $750,000 bond, noting that the payment — allegedly from music executive Cash “Wack 100” Jones — was tied to an exclusive interview with Davis. Kierny was also concerned that if the bond payment was a “gift” that came from some third-party entertainment company and not a familial connection, Davis would have little incentive to comply with orders and appear at trial.
Another hearing on the matter occurred on Tuesday, during which Davis’ legal team attempted to provide documentation that the bond payment was legitimate and obtained legally. However, as Kierny pointed out, the two letters provided to the court were written identically, and that both letters had issues with the signees: One letter was signed by a person with no known ties to Wack 100’s production company, and the other letter was signed by a misspelled name and provided an address that matched up with a doctor’s office, the Associated Press reported.
