US EditionTupac Shakur slaying suspect files appeal with Nevada Supreme Court to dismiss charges
CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA, JUL 30 – Davis claims constitutional violations and immunity agreements after a 27-year delay in prosecution, seeking dismissal of murder charges in Tupac Shakur's 1996 Las Vegas killing.
- Duane Davis, who goes by the nickname "Keffe D," has requested the Nevada Supreme Court to overturn a lower court’s refusal to drop the murder case connected to Tupac Shakur’s 1996 Las Vegas homicide.
- Davis' petition argues that his constitutional rights were violated due to a 27-year prosecution delay and that immunity agreements protect his interview statements from use.
- Davis worked with law enforcement for more than ten years under the promise that anything he revealed would remain protected from prosecution, but the State is now relying primarily on those disclosures as evidence against him.
- Attorney Carl Arnold argued that proceeding with the trial would breach Davis's constitutional rights, emphasizing that the prosecution relied solely on Davis's own statements without any independent evidence.
- Davis remains in custody and faces a jury trial scheduled for February 9, 2026, while the Nevada Supreme Court reviews the petition without a set timeline announced.
