Judge Denies Bail for Duane 'Keffe D' Davis

A Las Vegas judge has denied bail to Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, the only person charged in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, due to concerns about the legitimacy of the funds for his $750,000 bail. Judge Carli Kierny expressed skepticism regarding the source of the money after receiving questionable letters from the entertainment company purportedly financing the bond, noting discrepancies such as a misspelled name and an unconnected signature. Davis's attorney indicated they would provide further financial records to prove the funds were legally obtained, but Kierny remained unconvinced, suggesting a cover-up. Prosecutor Binu Palal warned that the bond dealer may have submitted false documents to the court, prompting a potential investigation. Davis, who has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, remains in custody as his trial has been rescheduled to March 2024. The case has drawn significant media interest, stemming from its deep ties to gang rivalry in the hip-hop community.
