Tupac Shakur trial week one features testimony on Davis
By The BriefBrief
In the first week of Duane “Keffe D” Davis’s trial over Tupac Shakur’s 1996 Las Vegas killing, prosecutors relied on Davis’s own words from police interviews and his memoir. The case faces hurdles because key participants are dead or refuse to cooperate, and Davis is accused of providing the murder weapon used in a drive-by that killed Shakur and wounded Suge Knight.
WHO: Duane “Keffe D” Davis; prosecutors; defense attorney Donna Rotunno
WHAT: Prosecution testimony and evidence in Davis’s trial draw heavily on his prior statements and memoir as witnesses with old gang ties prove reluctant.
WHEN: Reported Aug 22, 2026 at 9:00 AM ET
WHERE: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
WHY: The trial is proceeding to determine Davis’s responsibility for the 1996 drive-by shooting that killed Tupac Shakur and wounded Marion “Suge” Knight.
