‘You Better Treat Me as a Hostile Witness,’ Suge Knight Associate Says in Combative Testimony During Tupac Murder Trial
The witness said he did not want to help send Duane Davis to prison as testimony focused on gang ties and the 1996 killing.
- On Tuesday, the murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis continued into its second day in Las Vegas, examining evidence regarding rapper Tupac Shakur's fatal 1996 shooting.
- Prosecutors allege Davis orchestrated the shooting as retaliation after his nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, was involved in a fight with Shakur hours earlier, arguing the attack could not "go unanswered."
- Former Death Row Records security associate James "Mob James" McDonald provided candid testimony Tuesday about the violent conflict between Crips and Bloods street gangs, though he expressed reluctance to aid the prosecution.
- The trial, which began Monday and is expected to last six weeks, may feature testimony from Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight, who was in the vehicle during the shooting.
- This proceeding aims to resolve one of America's most high-profile unsolved murders 30 years after Shakur's death, as Davis remains charged with murder with a deadly weapon in the gang-related killing.
