Seattle Tacoma, WA, July 29, 2026 —
A Las Vegas judge has ruled that a 2008 interview with Duane “Keffe D” Davis is admissible evidence in his upcoming trial for the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.
The decision allows prosecutors to use the interview, conducted by BET, as part of their case against Davis. Davis has pleaded not guilty to one count of murder with the use of a deadly weapon in connection with Shakur’s death.
Shakur was fatally shot in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, following a boxing match. He died six days later from his injuries. The murder weapon has never been recovered, and the case remained unsolved for decades.
Duane “Keffe D” Davis, an uncle of the man believed to have fired the fatal shots, was arrested in Las Vegas in September 2023. His arrest followed years of investigation and public speculation surrounding the murder.
The trial is currently scheduled to begin in August. Further details regarding the specific contents of the 2008 interview and how it will be presented in court have not been widely disclosed.
