The trial for Duane Keith “Keefe D” Davis, connected to the murder of Tupac “2Pac” Shakur, has been postponed. It is now scheduled to begin on August 10, 2026. This delay has been attributed to the significant volume of evidence that the defense team needs to review.
Details of the 2Pac Murder Trial Delay
Keefe D, who has been in the Clark County Detention Center since his arrest in 2023, is accused of orchestrating the 1996 drive-by shooting that resulted in 2Pac’s death. His attorney, Robert Draskovich, described the amount of new evidence as “voluminous,” prompting the need for the trial’s extension.
Keefe D’s Stance on the Charges

Additionally, Keefe D expressed regret over his previous comments regarding the incident, saying, “I shouldn’t have said nothing. I’m innocent, man. God will see me through this.”
Background and Additional Legal Issues
- Keefe D was convicted in April for committing battery while in custody.
- The battery charge stemmed from an altercation with another inmate in December 2022.
