Duane 'Keefe D' Davis Rejects Plea Deal in Tupac Shakur Murder Case

Duane 'Keefe D' Davis Rejects Plea Deal in Tupac Shakur Murder Case

Facing a murder charge for the 1996 drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur, 63-year-old Duane “Keefe D” Davis has officially rejected a plea agreement from Nevada prosecutors. Davis, who cites his failing health and claims of past financial fabrication, is now preparing for a trial scheduled to begin on August 10.

Davis maintains his innocence, characterizing his previous admissions in interviews and his 2019 memoir as scripted narratives driven by financial incentives rather than factual accounts. He specifically alleged that ghostwriters and producers manipulated his story for profit, stating he accepted $150,000 for interviews that were orchestrated by others. Regarding the plea offer, which would have carried a prison sentence of 10 to 25 years, Davis argued that his age and history of heart disease make such a term equivalent to a life sentence.

The Clark County District Attorney’s Office has prepared for a rigorous trial, filing a witness list that includes over 200 names, such as former Death Row Records head Marion “Suge” Knight and high-profile political figures including Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo. Prosecutors intend to rely heavily on Davis’s own past statements, which a judge ruled admissible as evidence. In turn, Davis has attempted to shift the focus toward Reggie Wright Jr., the former security chief for Death Row Records, accusing him of orchestrating the killing—an allegation Wright has repeatedly denied under oath.
