Life for the suspected murderer of Tupac Shakur mightโve just gotten a lot harder: Duane โKeefe Dโ Davis recently got into a heated altercation with another inmate, causing him to be hit with a new charge.
Suggested Reading
According to TMZ, Keefe D was charged with battery by a prisoner. The altercation took place earlier this week and involved Davis and another man throwing multiple punches at each other.
Although he claims he claims he was just โstanding around,โ the fight lasted for a couple of seconds before guards broke up with the two with pepper spray. Screenshots taken from surveillance footage were obtained by the outlet.
Earlier this month, Keefe D was hit with another charge after he was heard making โcredible threatsโ to kill a potential witness who may testify against him at trial. A public defender staff member not working on Davisโ case allegedly leaked the witness list to him and a family member. They then discussed a plot to kill one of the witnesses on the list.
Less than a week later, Davisโ attorney Carl Arnoldย filed a motion to dismiss all the charges against his client, claiming that constitutional violations were made in the 27-year delay in prosecuting the murder of 2Pac.
In a news release obtained by WXII, Arnold stated, โThe prosecution has failed to justify a decades-long delay that has irreversibly prejudiced my client. Moreover, the failure to honor immunity agreements undermines the criminal justice systemโs integrity and seriously questions this prosecution.โ
In the Pac murder case, Keefe D is being accussed of orchestrating the shooting that killed the legendary rapper and wounded Suge Knight while they were in Las Vegas. Heโs pleaded guilty to the charges.
The big thing working against Davis is that he went on record in several interviews confessing to being involved in Pacโs murder. In 2008, he allegedly confessed to the murder as a part of a โproffer agreement,โ meaning that anything he told investigators at the time could not be used against him in court.
Keefe D is the only person being charged in Shakurโs murder because he is the only person still alive who was allegedly in the car where shots were fired. All the other suspects have since died.
The prosecution suspects that the shooting was planned because Davisโ nephew, Orlando โBaby Laneโ Anderson, and Pac were involved in a brawl at a casino hours earlier.
