In light of today's historic guilty verdict in the murder of Tupac Shakur, we're revisiting our conversation with former LAPD detective Greg Kading, who led the task force investigation into the murders of Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G. and later wrote *Murder Rap*. Recorded in 2024, before Duane “Keffe D” Davis was found guilty, Kading takes us inside the rivalry and retaliation that led to both killings, the evidence investigators uncovered, and the forces that kept two of the most infamous murders in music history unsolved for nearly three decades.

After only three hours of deliberations the jury at the Tupac Murder Trial returned with a verdict finding Duane "Keffe D" Davis guilty of first degree murder in connection with the 1996 drive-by shooting death of Tupac Shakur. Davis will be sentenced on October 13, 2026.Show info:Instagram: @that90spodcastEmail: 1995podcast@gmail.comSubstack: @historyofthe90s Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The state rested its case against Duane "Keffe D" Davis this week — and closed it out with Davis's own voice from a jail phone. This recap combines Wednesday's and Thursday's proceedings in the Keffe D murder trial, covering the two days that took the case from gang hierarchy testimony to a defendant's recorded words working against him. It started with retired Compton gang detective Robert Ladd, a two-decade veteran of the department's gang unit who tracked the South Side Compton Crips and told jurors the specific rank Davis held — the rank that determines who's giving orders and who's taking them. The defense maintains Davis fabricated his entire account of that night for a book deal. Tupac's childhood friend Malcolm Greenidge testified after him, describing where the shots actually came from that night and what Tupac had waiting for him before it ended: a label, an album, a meeting on the calendar with Quincy Jones. Crime scene analysts then broke down what a 2023 raid on Davis's Henderson home uncovered, from his own memoir to newspaper clippings about the murder he'd apparently held onto for years. By the time prosecutors finished with twenty-five witnesses over eight days, they closed on jail calls: Davis annoyed that his own statements were being used against him, Davis calling his book "the real truth" in a YouTube promotion, and one call where his characterization of Tupac lands directly on motive. The defense picks up next, calling a detective and two police officers first. Closing arguments are scheduled for Monday — and Davis still has to decide whether he testifies in his own case. Links & Legal: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Duane "Keffe D" Davis spent decades telling anyone who'd listen exactly what happened the night Tupac Shakur died. This week his own recorded words became the prosecution's closing argument. This recap covers Wednesday's and Thursday's testimony in the Keffe D murder trial in one pass — the case the defense says was never anything but a paid fiction, cooked up for a book deal. The state opened this stretch with retired Compton gang detective Robert Ladd, who spent years inside the department's two-man gang unit tracking the South Side Compton Crips. Ladd told the jury the specific rank Davis held in that gang, and why it matters — it's the difference between someone who follows an order and someone who hands one down. Tupac's childhood friend Malcolm Greenidge followed him to the stand, laying out where the shots actually came from that night and what Tupac had lined up before it all ended, from a new label to a sit-down already booked with Quincy Jones. Crime scene analysts then detailed what a 2023 raid on Davis's Henderson home turned up — including his own memoir and newspaper clippings about the murder that had apparently sat untouched in that house for years. By the close, prosecutors had called twenty-five witnesses over eight days, and they ended on jail calls: Davis complaining that his own statements were being used against him, Davis promoting his book on YouTube as "the real truth," and one call in particular where Davis's description of Tupac goes straight at motive. The defense opens its own case next with a detective and two police officers on the witness list. Closing arguments are scheduled for Monday, and by then Davis will have decided whether he testifies in his own defense. Links & Legal: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The man on trial for Tupac Shakur's murder just spent two days being confronted with his own voice. This recap covers Monday's and Tuesday's testimony — Day 5 and Day 6 — in the Duane "Keffe D" Davis trial, and the tapes jurors heard don't exactly help his case. Monday's evidence was a 2009 police interview in which Davis lays out the whole night: the search that started at Club 662, a .40 Glock he says was hidden in the car, his nephew Orlando Anderson as the triggerman, and his own insistence that the shots were aimed at Suge Knight, not at Tupac. The same day, a BET director testified Davis was paid for documentary interviews in which he called himself the only person left who could tell the true story, built in part on a sealed police recording that reached the production through consultants connected to the original case. Tuesday's tape was different — a 2017 interview where Davis says Sean "Puffy" Combs wanted Suge Knight "taken care of," and where he describes trying to call Combs after the shooting and getting nothing back. The defense objected to the recording. The judge allowed it anyway. And when Davis was finally asked whether he had anything to say to Tupac's family, the answer wasn't what anyone in that courtroom was hoping for. Combs has denied involvement and has never been charged in the case. Davis remains the only person ever charged in Tupac's 1996 murder. Two days of his own recorded words, and the story still doesn't line up. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two days of testimony, one recorded voice, and a story that keeps changing depending on who's listening. This recap combines Monday's and Tuesday's sessions — Day 5 and Day 6 — in the Duane "Keffe D" Davis murder trial, and the tapes jurors heard do a lot of the talking. On the 2009 recording, Davis tells detectives about the night Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas: the drive from Club 662, a hidden Glock, his nephew Orlando Anderson as the shooter, and his own claim that the bullets were meant for Suge Knight, not Tupac. Jurors also heard from a BET director who testified Davis was paid to sit for documentary interviews, calling himself the last man alive who could tell the real story, built partly on a sealed police tape that made its way to production through consultants connected to the original case. Tuesday's tape, recorded for Death Row Chronicles in 2017, adds a name to the story: Sean "Puffy" Combs, who Davis says wanted Suge Knight "taken care of." Davis says he called Combs after the shooting. Combs never called back. The defense fought to keep the tape out, calling it prejudicial. The judge disagreed. And when Davis was finally asked, on record, whether he had anything to say to Tupac's family, what came out of his mouth wasn't an apology. Davis remains the only person ever charged in connection with Tupac's 1996 murder. Combs has denied any involvement in the case and has never been charged. Two days, two tapes, one man's own words working against him in real time. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Duane "Keffe D" Davis has told this story to cops, to cameras, and now to a jury — and depending on the day, the target changes. This is the combined recap of Monday's and Tuesday's testimony, Day 5 and Day 6, in the Tupac Shakur murder trial in Las Vegas. Monday's exhibit was a 2009 police interview: Davis describing a hunt for Tupac that started outside Club 662, a .40 Glock pulled from a hidden compartment in the car, and his nephew Orlando Anderson firing the shots — while Davis insists, on tape, that Suge Knight was the actual target that night. Jurors also heard from the photographer who took Tupac's last photo alive, and from a BET director who testified Davis got paid for interviews where he called himself the only man left who could tell the real story — interviews built partly on a sealed police recording that reached production through consultants tied to the original investigation. Tuesday's tape moves the story forward: a 2017 recording where Davis claims Sean "Puffy" Combs wanted Suge Knight "taken care of," and says he tried reaching Combs after the shooting with no response. The defense pushed back hard on letting the jury hear it. The judge let it in. And when the moment came for Davis to say something to Tupac's family, he didn't take it. Combs has denied any role in Tupac's death and has never faced charges. Davis remains the only person charged in the 1996 killing. Two days of tape, one story that keeps shifting. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/fD_xavelFVc  On day 9 of the first-degree murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis for the death of Tupac Shakur, the defense case concluded after presenting three witnesses. The defense's final witness, Dan Long, a former Las Vegas homicide investigator who interviewed Davis in 2009, detailed past efforts to secure an arrest warrant that was ultimately stalled by the district attorney's office. Following cross-examination, the defense rested, the prosecution declined to present rebuttal witnesses, and the jury was dismissed until Monday, when closing arguments are scheduled to begin.

In a separate call, he complained that authorities were using his statements against him. The prosecution also played a YouTube clip of Davis promoting his book as "the real truth." A separate video showed Davis explaining why his side had reason to retaliate after the MGM Grand brawl.The defense begins Thursday with a detective and two officers.

A very busy day in court on Tuesday at the Tupac Murder Trial. Six witnesses took the stand including a rapper who witnessed Tupac's shooting and a former Compton police detective who gave the jury a 101 on street gangs. Plus, jurors saw evidence removed from the Las Vegas home of Duane "Keffe D Davis house when police executed a search warrant in the summer of 2023. The evidence included newspaper clippings about Tupac's drive-by shooting found in a plastic tub in Davis's garage alongside what the prosecution described as scrap book.Show info:Instagram: @that90spodcastEmail: 1995podcast@gmail.comSubstack: @historyofthe90s Hosted on Acast.

On Day 7 of the Tupac Shakur murder trial, a former gang detective told the jury what Duane "Keffe D" Davis's rank inside the South Side Compton Crips actually was. He explained what that rank means for who gives the orders.Robert Ladd, who spent years tracking the gang as part of Compton's two-man gang unit, identified Davis by a specific title in the hierarchy. He testified about Orlando Anderson's initiation, gang codes of respect, and what happens when a high-ranking member feels disrespected. The prosecution used Ladd to bridge a gap: Davis didn't fire the gun, but his position in the gang tells you whose decision it was. Greenidge, Tupac's childhood friend, corroborated where the shots came from — the back seat, not the front where Davis sat.Three analysts also walked the jury through Davis's Henderson home search from September 2023. Among the items recovered: his own memoir and newspaper clippings about the night Tupac was killed, stored for nearly three decades.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution spent Day 7 connecting a gang title to a murder charge. A retired Compton Police Department detective took the stand and told the jury exactly where Duane "Keffe D" Davis sat in the hierarchy of the South Side Compton Crips.Robert Ladd tracked Davis and the gang for years. He identified Davis by a specific title — and explained to the jury what that title means when the gang acts. Tupac's childhood friend Malcolm Greenidge, court-ordered to testify, told the jury the shots came from the back seat of the white Cadillac. Davis was in the front. Ladd's testimony explains why the front seat carries the charge. He also testified about witnessing Orlando Anderson's gang initiation and the code of respect that drives retaliation.Crime scene analysts showed the jury what police found in Davis's Henderson home during a September 2023 search — his own book about the shooting and newspaper clippings about the murder stored in bins for decades.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In a 2017 recording played for the jury on Day 6 of the Tupac Shakur murder trial, Duane "Keffe D" Davis described the shooting — the gun, his nephew, the Cadillac, Combs. Then the interviewer asked him a question that exposed the crack in his defense.The recording from the Death Row Chronicles production captured Davis discussing his relationship with Sean Combs, claiming Combs wanted Suge Knight dealt with and then stopped returning calls after the shooting. Davis said Combs was trying to "wash his hands" of them. The defense tried to block the recording over references to other crimes. The judge allowed it — the fiction defense weakens each time the jury hears another version of Davis telling the story he now claims was invented for money.Filmmaker Michael Dorsey took the stand as the prosecution's witness, testifying about his phone recording of the interview and his decision to contact Las Vegas police after the documentary aired. His recording was potentially broader than the official production version. Combs has denied involvement and has never been charged.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Day 5 of the Duane “Keffe D” Davis Trial: The Last Photo, the Documentary Interviews, and Davis's Own WordsOn Day 5 of the murder trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, charged in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, the prosecution continued building its case with eyewitness testimony, documentary filmmakers, and more of Davis's recorded statements to police. The day opened with Leonard Jefferson, the man who took what is widely regarded as the last known photograph of Tupac Shakur alive. Jefferson testified that he was in Las Vegas for the Mike Tyson fight, sold his tickets in the MGM Grand lobby, and later found himself stopped at a red light next to the BMW carrying Tupac and Suge Knight. He snapped a 35mm photo of the pair before following the convoy onto Flamingo Road. Moments later he heard gunfire, saw the BMW make a U-turn, and watched as Suge Knight emerged yelling that “Pac is shot.” Jefferson later returned to the scene at a detective's request and turned over the film. He pushed back against online conspiracy theories claiming he staged the famous image.Next on the stand was Mario Diaz, showrunner and director of the BET docuseries Death Row Chronicles. Diaz detailed two formal interviews he conducted with Davis in 2017, confirmed Davis was paid for his participation, and walked the jury through how the series incorporated portions of Davis's earlier recorded statements to investigators. He testified that the interviews were unscripted and that no questions were provided in advance.Prosecutors then played extended audio from a voluntary September 2009 police interview in which Davis described the night of the shooting in detail. In the recording, Davis discusses obtaining a gun (described as a .40-caliber Glock) from Eric “Zip” Martin, handing it off inside the white Cadillac, and his nephew Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson ultimately firing the shots. He also referenced Sean “Diddy” Combs and expressed regret, saying he wished the events had never happened and that meeting Combs had “messed up” his life.The day closed with testimony from filmmaker Michael Dorsey, a technical consultant on Death Row Chronicles and producer connected to the Murder Rap project. Dorsey discussed his long investigation into the case, his role advising on the 2017 interviews with Davis, and the audio recordings and transcripts he later provided under subpoena.Timestamps:00:24 Day Five Testimony Begins07:50 Documentary Clips Hit the Jury11:52 Dorsey Explains the Film16:56 Keefe D's 2009 Police Interview23:15 The Payoff Claims34:09 Prosecutor Under the MicroscopeFor commercial free early releases, bonus episodes and more! https://www.patreon.com/exposedpodcastfilesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/exposed-scandalous-files-of-the-elite--6073723/support.

Five days into the Tupac Shakur murder trial, the case against Duane "Keffe D" Davis is built almost entirely from his own recordings. The newest one played for jurors contains his unfiltered reaction to learning Tupac was dead. This recap covers the September 2009 interview in full. Davis describes a search that began at Club 662 after the MGM Grand beating of Orlando Anderson. He describes a Glock from a secret compartment, a handoff to the back seat, and five or six shots he says Orlando fired at Suge Knight. Davis even asked the Las Vegas detective to step out of the room partway through, continuing his account with only the LAPD detective and his own lawyer present. The television chapter got its own testimony. Davis took money for a docuseries, and a sealed federal proffer recording traveled from investigators to a director's editing bay. A defamation letter from Sean Combs' attorney over a related documentary never turned into a lawsuit. Combs has denied any role in the killing, has never been a suspect, and is charged with nothing here. Friday closed with Davis rising to accuse the prosecutor of ruining his life. The trial picks back up Monday morning, and there's more tape to come.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Thirty years after Tupac Shakur was shot and killed on the Las Vegas Strip, the trial of the man accused of orchestrating his murder is finally underway. Duane "Keffe D" Davis essentially talked himself into a Las Vegas courtroom, and now prosecutors are using his own memoir against him. Pete Christiansen, founding partner and lead trial attorney at Christiansen Trial Lawyers helps us dig into the key elements of the case, what the opening statements revealed, and where the trial goes from here.  Learn more about the sponsors of this Monday, August 24th episode: Neon Museum Elect Alex Quagge Want to get in touch?

Nearly thirty years after Tupac Shakur was shot on a Las Vegas street, Duane “Keffe D” Davis is on trial for murder. In this episode, I walk through the prosecution's retaliation theory, the defense claim that Davis turned fiction into a profitable public persona, and the most important testimony from the first week. We will look at the MGM Grand fight, the white Cadillac, Davis's protected 2008 interview, his later public interviews and memoir, the medical evidence, the witnesses who still do not want to talk, and the holes created by three decades without a gun, a car or testimony from the other men prosecutors say were inside that Cadillac. I will also identify the exact portions of the opening statements that are worth watching and explain what each side needs the jury to believe.

Marion "Suge" Knight was driving the car Tupac Shakur died in. He's the one man who could confirm or destroy Duane "Keffe D" Davis's version of what happened on September 7, 1996 — and by most accounts, he's not talking. Davis, the man prosecutors say organized Shakur's murder, told police in a 2008 interview — under a promise that nothing he said could be used against him — that he rode in the front seat of a white Cadillac that night, spotted Knight's BMW with Shakur inside, and passed a gun to his nephew, Orlando Anderson, in the back seat. He says if the cars had lined up differently, he would have fired the shots himself. Anderson is the man prosecutors say pulled the trigger. Shakur died six days later at 25. Knight has never been charged in the case. He's spent years in prison on an unrelated conviction, and reporting around the trial suggests he has no interest in helping either side make its case now. That leaves jurors with one man's account of what happened inside a car carrying two of the most famous names in hip-hop — and no way to hear it from the man sitting next to Shakur when the shots came. Davis was indicted in September 2023, has pleaded not guilty, and faces life in prison. His defense says the state's story is fiction. Prosecutors say Davis is the one person who could never stay quiet about what he did. Hidden Killers covers what's on the record, what isn't, and why the man with the clearest view of that night may be the last person willing to describe it. Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every other person who was in that white Cadillac the night Tupac Shakur died is dead. Duane "Keffe D" Davis is the only one left to tell it — and the Tupac Shakur murder trial in Las Vegas is now entirely about whether his version can be trusted. Davis says he rode in the front passenger seat on September 7, 1996, watched Shakur pull up in a black BMW driven by Marion "Suge" Knight, and passed a handgun into the back seat. He says his nephew, Orlando Anderson, took it and opened fire. Shakur died six days later at 25. Anderson was never charged; he was killed in an unrelated shooting years ago. Knight isn't cooperating. The driver of the Cadillac is gone too. That leaves one voice, and it belongs to the man prosecutors say organized the whole thing. Davis told this story to a detective in 2008 who promised him immunity from anything he said in that room. He told it again in a BET documentary, in a 2019 memoir, and in paid interviews — after a retired detective published details first in a 2011 book. He was indicted in September 2023 and has pleaded not guilty, facing life in prison. His attorneys call the state's case fiction dressed up as fact, and they point out that with everyone else gone, there's no one left to check his story against. That's the problem sitting at the center of this trial. A story with no living witness to contradict it isn't the same as a proven story — but juries convict on testimony like this all the time. Hidden Killers lays out what Davis said, when he said it, and why being the last man standing might be the most dangerous position he's ever been in. Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Tupac Shakur murder trial reached a moment jurors won't forget: autopsy photographs, shown in open court, to a family that has waited almost thirty years for this case to reach a jury. Some relatives stayed in the room. Others walked out. One cousin said afterward that he needed to see the images to finally grieve. That's the emotional weight sitting underneath a trial that is, on paper, about a 2008 police interview — one where Duane "Keffe D" Davis was promised that nothing he said could be used against him, then went on to describe riding in the front seat of a white Cadillac the night Shakur was shot, September 7, 1996, and passing a gun to his nephew, Orlando Anderson, in the back seat. Davis was indicted in September 2023 and faces life in prison if convicted. His defense calls the prosecution's case fiction. Prosecutors call Davis the one man who could never stop talking about what happened that night — in a memoir, in a documentary, in paid interviews, long after that 2008 promise was supposed to protect him. Tony Brueski sits down with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to unpack what the courtroom reaction to those photographs actually tells you about a case built almost entirely on one man's shifting story, and what it means for a jury asked to weigh decades-old grief against courtroom testimony. This is the part of the Tupac Shakur case that doesn't show up in the headlines about ballistics or gang rivalries — the moment a family had to relive the worst day of their lives in a room full of strangers deciding what justice looks like now. Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For fifteen years, the government held a recording of Duane "Keffe D" Davis explaining his role in the death of Tupac Shakur, and no charge followed. The Tupac trial in Las Vegas just showed the jury why that changed.The 2008 interview ran under a proffer agreement, which Davis later called the deal of a lifetime, and it legally blocked prosecutors from building a case out of what he said in the room. On the recording, detectives tell him directly that his statements cannot be used against him. Jurors heard those assurances played back in open court.They also heard what Davis did with the protection. He described the white Cadillac, the hunt that followed his nephew's beating at the MGM Grand, the gun moving from his hand toward the back seat, and Orlando Anderson allegedly firing the shots that killed Shakur at 25. It contradicted what he told the FBI years earlier, when he denied involvement and steered investigators toward New York.Then the material stopped being secret. A detective from the interview published details in a 2011 book. Davis appeared in a BET documentary in 2018, released a memoir in February 2019, and gave paid interviews repeating the account. Prosecutors argue those public statements nullified the confidentiality, and a grand jury indicted him in September 2023. Davis pleaded not guilty, his lawyer calls the narrative fiction, and the judge admitted the tape while noting concerns about the legality of the proffer statements.True Crime Today follows the trial down to the question underneath it: whether a man everyone agrees is unreliable told the truth exactly once.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tupac Shakur's family sat in a Las Vegas courtroom and listened to Duane "Keffe D" Davis describe the night of September 7, 1996 in his own voice. The recording came from a 2008 police interview that opened with a promise: nothing Davis said could be used against him, and nothing would leave the room. The Tupac Shakur murder trial has now put every word in front of a jury.Davis, charged with murder with a deadly weapon and a gang enhancement, has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors never claim he fired a shot. Their case is that he planned the retaliation after his nephew was beaten at the MGM Grand hours earlier, obtained the gun, and handed it toward the back seat of the white Cadillac, where Orlando Anderson allegedly used it. On the tape, Davis says the angle decided everything, and that Shakur's side of the street was the only thing that kept him from firing personally.The interview happened because a task force was chasing the killing of the Notorious B.I.G. Detectives testified they asked Davis nothing about Tupac and he raised it himself, contradicting denials he had given the FBI a decade earlier.No gun was ever recovered and the Cadillac was never found, and the other three men from the car are dead. What the state holds is Davis's recorded account, his memoir, his documentary appearances, and its argument that going public destroyed the confidentiality he was promised. The defense calls all of it fiction sold for money.The tape is in evidence now, and the promise protects nobody. This episode covers what jurors heard and what it costs both sides.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

“I think Pac was actually traumatised by the poverty. You know, poverty can be very, very traumatic. Having no lights, having no food from time to time, having no clothes while you're going to school, and bumming clothes. Them stories, it was real. That really happened to Pac. Pac was sensitive, so he felt things deeply.” The BBC's Shaimaa Khalil speaks to Mopreme Shakur, step-brother of iconic rapper Tupac Shakur. Tupac was shot dead in Las Vegas in 1996, and now, almost 30 years later, Duane “Keffe D” Davis is on trial in connection with his murder. He has pleaded not guilty. Through music exploring poverty, racism and injustice, Tupac became one of hip-hop's most loved and influential figures, selling more than 75 million records worldwide. Mopreme recalls growing up with Tupac and explains why he believes poverty and politics shaped his brother and the music he went on to make. He talks about Tupac's mother having been the section leader of the Harlem chapter of the Black Panther Party, and links Tupac's own experience of abandonment to his concern with how neglected children can become hardened adults.

Day 2 of the Tupac murder trial just delivered the first real courtroom fireworks. Nearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was gunned down in a drive-by near the Las Vegas Strip, Duane “Keffe D” Davis is finally on trial for orchestrating the killing. On Day 2, the prosecution continued building its case with crime scene evidence, autopsy details, and testimony from people who were deep inside the Death Row and Compton worlds.Former Las Vegas crime scene analyst Thomas Kern walked the jury through the physical evidence recovered from Tupac's body and the scene. Medical examiner Dr. Lisa Gavin reviewed the original autopsy findings and confirmed the fatal gunshot wounds that ended the rapper's life six days after the shooting. Then the temperature rose. James “Mob James” McDonald, a longtime Suge Knight associate and former Death Row figure, took the stand and immediately declared himself a hostile witness.He locked eyes with Davis multiple times, told the defense attorney their questions were going to get Davis in trouble, and made it clear he had no interest in helping send the defendant to prison. Reggie Wright Jr., the former head of security for Death Row Records, also testified about the security setup that night, the heavy use of cell phones and walkie-talkies, and the aftermath of the shooting. The fight at the MGM Grand after the Mike Tyson fight.The white Cadillac that pulled up next to Suge Knight's BMW. The shots that changed hip-hop forever. Day 2 started connecting those dots in real time. This episode covers the key testimony, the tense exchanges, and what it all means as the state tries to prove that Keffe D ordered the hit and supplied the gun that killed Tupac.Timestamps:00:23 Trial Day Two Opens02:09 Autopsy Evidence Preserved04:31 Medical Examiner Details Wounds10:12 Surveillance Footage From MGM14:39 First Officer Sees Aftermath17:48 Crime Scene Casings Collected24:39 Mob James Explains Rivalries1:02:23 Reggie Wright Jr. Takes StandBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/exposed-scandalous-files-of-the-elite--6073723/support.

This Day in Legal History: The War on PovertyOn August 20, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act, the legislative centerpiece of the “War on Poverty” he had declared in his State of the Union address seven months earlier. It was among the most ambitious pieces of social legislation in American history. More fundamentally, it committed the federal government to the idea that poverty was not merely an individual misfortune, but a national problem the country could organize itself to confront.The Act was broad by design. It authorized roughly $1 billion and created a collection of programs whose names remain familiar: the Job Corps, which trained young people; VISTA, conceived as a domestic version of the Peace Corps; the Neighborhood Youth Corps; and the Community Action Program. The last of those sent federal money directly to local organizations and required the “maximum feasible participation” of poor people in designing the programs intended to help them. The Act also created the Office of Economic Opportunity to oversee the broader effort. Head Start, which continues operating today, grew out of the same framework.The legacy of August 20, 1964, is genuinely mixed, which is precisely why it is worth remembering honestly. The War on Poverty created durable institutions, including Head Start, Job Corps, and legal-services programs for poor Americans, while embedding the principle that the federal government has some responsibility for expanding opportunity. But the “maximum feasible participation” requirement also produced fierce battles between local activists and city governments that were accustomed to controlling federal money. The initiative was then starved of funding as the war in Vietnam consumed both the federal budget and the country's political attention. The Economic Opportunity Act remains a reference point in nearly every argument about what the government owes its most vulnerable citizens. It also pairs pointedly with a day of legal news dominated by criminal prosecutions and judicial power—a reminder that law is not only a mechanism for punishment, but, at its most aspirational, a tool for creating opportunity.In the trial of the man accused of orchestrating Tupac Shakur's 1996 murder, the defense has settled on a genuinely remarkable strategy: asking the jury not to believe its own client. When we covered the opening of the trial, I noted that the case largely rests on Duane “Keffe D” Davis's own words. Over the years, Davis said in media interviews and in a 2019 memoir that he was inside the Cadillac on the night Tupac was shot and that he handed the gun to the men in the back seat. Police had long suspected Davis, but they did not have enough evidence to charge him until he began publicly talking about the crime. His lawyer, Michael Sanft, is now attacking the reliability of those same admissions, at one point displaying a slide for jurors bearing a single word: “b******t.” The defense theory is that Davis is a braggart who exaggerated or invented his involvement to sell books and improve his street reputation—and that self-aggrandizing talk is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt.Legally, this is a fascinating position because Davis's statements are doing much of the work a live confession ordinarily would, except that he made them for money and status rather than during a police interrogation. His effort to claim immunity based on a 2008 proffer has already failed before the Nevada Supreme Court, clearing the way for the statements to be used at trial. The case therefore turns on a basic but difficult evidentiary question: when someone publicly brags about participating in a notorious crime for personal gain, is that a confession the government can use to convict him, or is it just talk? The jury must decide whether Keffe D was telling the world the truth—or, as his own lawyer now argues, lying for profit.Defense strategy in Tupac murder case: don't believe my client | ReutersCNN · KELOPresident Trump has announced nine new judicial nominees for federal courts in Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Alaska as the November midterms approach. The group notably includes an Oklahoma state attorney who supported allowing taxpayer-funded religious charter schools, offering a preview of the church-state disputes these judges could eventually be asked to decide. The larger legal point is that lifetime federal judgeships may be the most durable form of power a president exercises.These nominees, if confirmed, will continue interpreting federal law and the Constitution for decades after the president who selected them has left office. There is an unusual wrinkle this time, however: Trump's pace of judicial appointments has slowed because there are not many vacancies left. His first term substantially reshaped the federal judiciary, and an aggressive beginning to his second term further reduced the number of available seats. That is why a nine-person slate spanning six states is meaningful in a year when there simply is not much left to fill. The “as midterms loom” framing matters as well, because control of the Senate determines whether a president's nominees receive confirmation votes at all. The administration therefore has every reason to move nominees while the current Senate math remains favorable. Even a comparatively modest batch of nominations illustrates the quiet, cumulative way presidents shape American law—not through the executive orders that dominate a news cycle, but through lifetime appointments that survive countless news cycles. Each of these nine nominees, if confirmed, would represent a decades-long imprint on the federal judiciary.Trump names nine new judicial nominees as November midterms loom | ReutersLaw360 · Bloomberg LawAnd finally, we have a genuinely novel legal argument—literally. The Justice Department is prosecuting former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly threatening President Trump, and prosecutors are now pointing to Comey's own novel as evidence against him. The charge arises from a May 2025 Instagram post in which Comey shared a photograph of seashells arranged on a beach to spell “86 47.” In that formulation, “86” is slang for getting rid of something, while “47” refers to Trump as the 47th president. Comey said he encountered the shells while walking on a North Carolina beach and posted the image as a clever piece of political commentary. Prosecutors have adopted a much darker interpretation. In a new filing urging the judge not to dismiss the case, the Justice Department cites Comey's legal thriller FDR Drive, published that same month, in which a right-wing podcaster uses coded language to incite followers against political opponents.The government's theory is that the novel demonstrates Comey understood how coded language can function as a threat and therefore knew what “86 47” would communicate. Prosecutors also suggested that he exploited the resulting controversy to sell books, quoting a message to his agent in which Comey wrote that the attention was “not my intention, but I'll be OK if it sells books.” The First Amendment does not protect “true threats,” but it strongly protects political criticism and hyperbole, and the Supreme Court has held that the government generally must prove a speaker was at least reckless about how a statement would be understood. The central question is therefore whether “86 47” amounted to a genuine threat of violence or protected political speech. Using a defendant's fictional writing to establish his state of mind is an aggressive and unusual prosecutorial move. Comey's lawyers describe the case as retaliation for his criticism of Trump. The prosecution sits directly on the fault line between criminalizing a threat and criminalizing dissent—and the government is effectively asking the court to treat a novelist's imagination as evidence of criminal intent.DOJ argues Comey novel shows he knew ‘86 47' post was a threat against Trump | ReutersCNBC · The Hill This is a public episode.

Day One of TrialNearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was gunned down on the Las Vegas Strip, the first person ever charged in his murder finally faced a jury.On the opening day of the trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, prosecutors painted a clear picture of revenge. They told jurors that Davis, a former South Side Compton Crips leader, did not pull the trigger—but orchestrated the entire drive-by that killed the 25-year-old rap icon on September 7, 1996. Just hours after Tupac and members of his Death Row entourage beat Davis's nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, in the lobby of the MGM Grand following a Mike Tyson fight, prosecutors say Davis got a .40-caliber Glock, assembled a crew in a white Cadillac, and made sure the shooters were armed and ready. Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal told the jury the state's case rests heavily on Davis's own words—from a secret 2008 interview with investigators, later statements, and his 2019 memoir Compton Street Legend—in which he described being in the front passenger seat, passing the gun to the back, and watching the shots ring out. “Duane Davis did not pull the trigger. But he did plan the shooting in retaliation for the beating of his nephew,” Palal said. “And remarkably, you will learn that from Duane Davis himself.”Defense attorney Michael Sanft hit back hard, calling his own client “full of crap” and telling jurors Davis's long history of self-incriminating stories was just that—stories told for attention and money. “There's no facts,” Sanft argued. The first witnesses took the stand, including a former Las Vegas Metro officer who rode in the ambulance with a still-conscious Tupac and heard the rapper refuse to name his attackers, saying something to the effect of “we'll take care of it.” Thirty years of silence, street codes, and unanswered questions collided in a Las Vegas courtroom.Jim Chapman breaks down everything we learned in day one of this trial, 30 years in the making.Timestamps:01:21 Tupac's Rise to Fame04:44 Legal Troubles and Death07:41 Suge Knight's Influence09:48 Trial Opening Statements20:50 Witnesses Place Tupac There27:25 Early Investigation Details31:12 Biggie Connection Emerges#tupac #deathrowrecords #sugeknight #biggie #rap #trial #keffed #duanedavis #podcast Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/exposed-scandalous-files-of-the-elite--6073723/support.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis walked into a Clark County courtroom Monday in a blue suit and tie, scanned the audience, and sat down next to his attorney. Thirty years after the most famous unsolved murder in American music, someone was finally sitting in front of a jury. One juror told the court during selection that she'd never heard of Tupac Shakur.Davis is the first person ever charged in the killing of Tupac Shakur. The case had been cold for nearly three decades before Davis's own memoir provided the probable cause for his arrest in September 2023. The charges are murder with a deadly weapon and a gang enhancement.Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal opened Monday by showing the jury security camera footage from the MGM Grand on September 7, 1996. Shakur and several Death Row Records associates attacked Davis's nephew Orlando Anderson in the casino lobby after a Mike Tyson fight. Two and a half hours later, Shakur was shot four times from a white Cadillac at a stoplight on Flamingo Road. He died six days later at twenty-five years old.The prosecution's case rests on Davis's own words. He described the shooting in a 2008 police interview under immunity. He appeared in a BET documentary. He described it on podcasts and in magazine interviews. Then he published a memoir called Compton Street Legend, put his name on the cover, and identified himself as the shot caller.Defense attorney Michael Sanft told the jury Davis wrote the book for one reason: money. The story would sell whether it was true or not. In March 2025, from a jail cell, Davis told reporters he was innocent and wasn't even in Las Vegas that night.No murder weapon was recovered. The white Cadillac was never found. All three other men from that car are dead.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis walked into a Clark County courtroom Monday in a blue suit and tie, scanned the audience, and sat down next to his attorney. Thirty years after the most famous unsolved murder in American music, someone was finally sitting in front of a jury. One juror told the court during selection that she'd never heard of Tupac Shakur.Davis is the first person ever charged in the killing of Tupac Shakur. The case had been cold for nearly three decades before Davis's own memoir provided the probable cause for his arrest in September 2023. The charges are murder with a deadly weapon and a gang enhancement.Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal opened Monday by showing the jury security camera footage from the MGM Grand on September 7, 1996. Shakur and several Death Row Records associates attacked Davis's nephew Orlando Anderson in the casino lobby after a Mike Tyson fight. Two and a half hours later, Shakur was shot four times from a white Cadillac at a stoplight on Flamingo Road. He died six days later at twenty-five years old.The prosecution's case rests on Davis's own words. He described the shooting in a 2008 police interview under immunity. He appeared in a BET documentary. He described it on podcasts and in magazine interviews. Then he published a memoir called Compton Street Legend, put his name on the cover, and identified himself as the shot caller.Defense attorney Michael Sanft told the jury Davis wrote the book for one reason: money. The story would sell whether it was true or not. In March 2025, from a jail cell, Davis told reporters he was innocent and wasn't even in Las Vegas that night.No murder weapon was recovered. The white Cadillac was never found. All three other men from that car are dead. Davis is sixty-three and faces mandatory life without parole.The prosecution asks a jury to convict on a man's own words. The defense asks that same jury to believe he lied for thirty years because it paid.END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in Las Vegas, the trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis is underway. Prosecutors opened the case by telling jurors that Davis helped plan the attack and that some of the most important evidence will come from Davis himself — including years of interviews, statements to investigators, and his memoir. Davis has pleaded not guilty. His defense argues that prosecutors are treating stories and exaggerations as fact and says there is not enough independent evidence to corroborate Davis' claims. Crime Talk breaks down the opening statements, the prosecution's theory, the defense strategy, the evidence surrounding Keffe D's own words, and what jurors heard as testimony began in one of the most closely watched criminal cases in decades. Witness testimony also began Monday following the opening statements.

This Day in Legal History: Clinton Testifies Before the Grand JuryOn August 17, 1998, President Bill Clinton became the first sitting president to testify before a grand jury as the subject of its investigation. He gave his testimony via closed-circuit television from the White House to Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's grand jury, concerning his relationship with a White House intern—and that same evening, he addressed the nation to admit he had misled the public about it.The legal machinery that brought a president to that moment is worth understanding. It began, improbably, with a civil lawsuit: Paula Jones's sexual-harassment suit, which produced the 1997 Supreme Court decision in Clinton v. Jones holding that a sitting president is not immune from civil litigation over unofficial conduct and can be deposed while in office. That deposition, and the questions in it, are what put Clinton's statements under oath—and when those statements collided with what Starr's investigation uncovered, the independent counsel built a case around perjury and obstruction of justice. Clinton, carefully, insisted his earlier answers had been “legally accurate,” a phrase that became emblematic of the entire episode.The significance of August 17, 1998 is layered. It led directly to Clinton's impeachment by the House on charges of perjury and obstruction—only the second presidential impeachment in American history—and his acquittal by the Senate. But its deeper legal legacies are the ones that still echo: Clinton v. Jones established that the presidency is not a shield against civil accountability for private conduct, a principle you can hear resonating in today's fights over presidential immunity, and the whole saga became a national seminar on perjury, executive privilege, and the limits of the independent-counsel model, which Congress let expire the following year. It's a fitting anniversary for a day when the relationship between political power and prosecutorial judgment is, once again, at the center of the news.Opening statements begin today in Las Vegas in the murder trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, nearly thirty years after the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur. Davis, 63, is charged with murder with a deadly weapon with intent to promote a criminal gang. He has pleaded not guilty and faces life in prison if convicted.A sixteen-person jury has been selected, and prosecutors are expected to call roughly forty witnesses. The witness list includes Suge Knight, who was driving the car in which Shakur was shot, and Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, who responded to the shooting as a Las Vegas police sergeant in 1996.Prosecutors say Davis was the “shot caller” behind a quickly assembled plan to retaliate after Shakur and members of his entourage beat Davis's nephew at the MGM Grand earlier that evening. The government's theory places the killing within a larger conflict involving rival street gangs.The obvious problem for prosecutors is time. Trying a murder case three decades after the crime means dealing with faded memories, unavailable witnesses, and physical evidence that may have been lost or degraded. What eventually revived the case, however, was Davis himself.Over the years, Davis publicly discussed his involvement in Shakur's killing in interviews and in a memoir. Those statements now form an important part of the prosecution's case. They also give the defense an obvious line of attack: statements made years later for publicity, money, or street credibility are not necessarily reliable accounts of what actually happened.That makes Davis's own words one of the most important legal issues to watch. Prosecutors do not merely have to show that he repeatedly claimed involvement; they have to persuade jurors that those claims, considered alongside the remaining evidence, prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The trial is therefore as much about the reliability of decades-old admissions as it is about solving one of the most famous unsolved murders in American popular culture.Tupac shooting trial begins with opening statements | ReutersWashington Post · PBS NewsHourAttorney General Todd Blanche is publicly backing U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro after President Trump criticized her office for dropping a vandalism prosecution involving the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Blanche said he “absolutely” supports Pirro, the top federal prosecutor in Washington. The comments came after Trump criticized her decision to abandon the prosecution of former Olympian David Hearn and others accused of damaging the Reflecting Pool.The case grew out of a roughly $15 million renovation project that the administration pushed to complete before July 4. After an algae bloom appeared and portions of the pool's lining began peeling, Pirro's office brought vandalism charges. Prosecutors later dropped the case after concluding that the damage resulted from problems with the renovation rather than deliberate sabotage.Trump was not happy with that conclusion. He publicly called on Pirro to revisit what he described as her “hastily made decision,” and the White House reportedly asked the Justice Department to consider whether additional charges were available.Blanche is now defending the prosecutor's decision. He said it was unfair to judge Pirro based on a single case when her office had made its decision based on the evidence available to prosecutors.The legal principle here is prosecutorial discretion. Prosecutors have substantial authority to decide whether the available evidence justifies bringing or continuing criminal charges, and those decisions are supposed to turn on the law and evidence rather than the political preferences of the president. That principle takes on additional importance because Blanche, who previously served as Trump's personal lawyer, faced questions during his confirmation about whether he could operate the Justice Department independently.There is an important qualification. Blanche also said Trump supports Pirro, despite the president's public criticism of her handling of this case. Still, an attorney general publicly defending a prosecutor's evidence-based decision against presidential criticism is a meaningful test of how much independence federal prosecutors will have when their charging decisions conflict with the White House.US Attorney General Blanche publicly backs Pirro after Trump criticism over Reflecting Pool | Reuters · US NewsAOLA federal judge has cleared the way for the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for roughly 1,100 Somalis living in the United States.U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston lifted a pause she had imposed in March on the Department of Homeland Security's termination of Somalia's TPS designation. The change largely reflects what has happened at the Supreme Court since Burroughs entered that earlier order.Temporary Protected Status allows people from designated countries experiencing armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions to remain and work legally in the United States for a limited period. The protection does not itself provide permanent immigration status, and the executive branch periodically decides whether conditions in a particular country continue to justify the designation.The administration maintains that conditions in Somalia have improved enough to end TPS. Opponents point to continuing violence in the country, including fighting involving al-Shabaab militants, as evidence that returning people to Somalia remains dangerous.Four Somali plaintiffs and advocacy organizations also argued that the administration's decision was motivated by racial discrimination, citing President Trump's previous comments about Somalis. Burroughs rejected that discrimination claim at this stage, although the broader litigation continues.The most important legal development, though, happened above the district court. In June, the Supreme Court allowed the administration to terminate similar protections involving people from Haiti and Syria. Burroughs concluded that the Supreme Court's intervention changed the legal landscape and limited her ability to continue blocking the Somali termination.That illustrates how a Supreme Court ruling can affect considerably more than the people immediately involved in a particular case. Once the Court signaled that the executive branch has broad authority to terminate TPS designations, lower courts confronting similar challenges had less room to intervene. For the roughly 1,100 Somalis affected here, that means a temporary immigration protection that allowed them to remain legally in the United States can now be withdrawn while the underlying legal fight continues.US judge clears way for Trump to end Somalis' deportation protections | ReutersUS News · Fox News This is a public episode.

Rapper Tupac Shakur is one of the most influential music artists ever - with musicians such as Kendrick Lamar, Justin Bieber and Drake citing him as a major inspiration. His career was cut short in 1996 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas - but now, nearly three decades later, a man is going on trial, accused of his murder. He's called Duane "Keffe D" Davis - he has pled not guilty and denies all allegations.So, what we can expect from the trial? And how is Tupac's music continuing to influence hip-hop, decades after his murder?We speak to culture journalist Ivie Ani, who's based in New York, to learn more about the impact Tupac has had on music today. We also hear from Tupac fans that have discovered his legacy in the years since his death - and from Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty, host of the BBC's Fame Under Fire podcast.

Nearly three decades after music icon Tupac Shakur was gunned down on the Las Vegas Strip, former gang leader Duane "Keffe D" Davis is set to stand trial in Nevada for orchestrating the infamous 1996 murder. Though prosecutors do not allege Davis pulled the trigger, they argue his own self-proclaimed role and public confessions prove he acted as the "shot caller" who supplied the weapon. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber as he breaks down everything you need to know about the case, the defense's strategy, and what to expect as his trial gets underway.HOST:Jesse Weber: https://twitter.com/jessecordweberLAW&CRIME SIDEBAR PRODUCTION:YouTube Management - Bobby SzokeVideo Editing - Michael Deininger, Christina O'Shea, & Jay CruzScript Writing & Producing - Savannah Williamson, Heather Berzak & Juliana BattagliaGuest Booking - Alyssa Fisher & Diane KayeSocial Media Management - Vanessa BeinSTAY UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LAW&CRIME NETWORK:Watch Law&Crime Network on YouTubeTV: https://bit.ly/3td2e3yWhere To Watch Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3akxLK5Sign Up For Law&Crime's Daily Newsletter: https://bit.ly/LawandCrimeNewsletterRead Fascinating Articles From Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3td2IqoLAW&CRIME NETWORK SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawandcrimeTwitter: https://twitter.com/LawCrimeNetworkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrimeTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/lawandcrimenetworkTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lawandcrimeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 2008, Duane "Keffe D" Davis sat down with the LAPD and gave a detailed account of his alleged role in the murder of Tupac Shakur, in exchange for what he believed was protection from prosecution. That proffer became one of the central pieces of evidence in the case against him, alongside interviews on BET's "Death Row Chronicles" and a 2019 memoir where he wrote about handing his nephew Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson the gun used in the shooting. Judge Carli Kierny has ruled his own statements admissible for trial, and his defense team's argument that the 2008 deal should have protected him from prosecution has already been rejected once.  There's no murder weapon in this case. There's no DNA. Anderson denied involvement before he was killed in Compton in 1998, leaving Davis's own words as the backbone of the prosecution's case. After his 2023 arrest, Davis reversed course entirely, telling ABC News he's innocent and that fifteen years of confessions were only ever about selling books. He even claimed he wasn't in Las Vegas that night, contradicting what he'd published himself.  Las Vegas police had his 2008 statements on record for years before making an arrest. The gap between what they knew and when they acted stretched to fourteen years. Every motion the defense has filed since the 2023 arrest, immunity, suppression, dismissal over the delay, has failed. Davis is 63, facing life without parole, and the trial is now underway with a jury that has to decide what his own words are actually worth. Mopreme Shakur says the Shakur family has waited thirty years to watch this play out in front of twelve strangers, and he's not the only one who's noticed how long it took to get here. Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's a version of Duane "Keffe D" Davis who spent fifteen years describing, in detail, how he says Tupac Shakur was killed. He told the LAPD in a 2008 proffer session. He said it again on BET's "Death Row Chronicles." He put it in writing in his 2019 memoir, claiming he handed his nephew Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson the gun and ordered the hit over a fight at the MGM Grand. Then Davis got arrested in September 2023, and a different version showed up. He told ABC News he made the whole thing up to sell books. He said he wasn't even in Las Vegas that night, contradicting what he'd published under his own name.  Both versions can't be true, and the jury in Las Vegas is going to have to decide which one to believe with no murder weapon and no DNA to lean on. Anderson, the man Davis says pulled the trigger, denied it before he was killed in Compton in 1998. Judge Carli Kierny has ruled Davis's own statements admissible, which means the case largely comes down to his own words against each other.  Every defense motion so far has failed. The immunity argument built on that 2008 proffer was rejected. The bid to suppress a search of his home was denied. The push to dismiss over the twenty-seven-year delay was denied. Las Vegas police had his statements by 2009 and waited fourteen years to make an arrest. Davis has burned through three legal teams and picked up a battery conviction behind bars along the way.  He's 63 now, facing life without parole, and he's pleaded not guilty. Mopreme Shakur says his family has waited thirty years to see this case reach a courtroom, and this trial is that moment. Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens when a murder prosecution has no physical evidence at all? A Las Vegas jury is finding out. Duane "Keffe D" Davis is on trial for the September 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, and the state's case doesn't include a gun, DNA, or testimony from the man they say actually fired. Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson denied involvement and was killed in Compton in 1998. Prosecutors say Davis gave the order and supplied the weapon from the front seat of a white Cadillac, retaliation for a beating captured on MGM Grand surveillance video hours earlier. Grand jury transcripts tie the killing to a war between Death Row Records and Bad Boy Records, and between the Mob Piru Bloods and the South Side Compton Crips. Judge Carli Kierny ruled the state's central evidence admissible. Davis, 63, has pleaded not guilty and faces life without parole.

A murder trial without a weapon, without DNA, and without the person who allegedly pulled the trigger sounds impossible. In Las Vegas, it's happening. Duane "Keffe D" Davis faces one count of murder with a deadly weapon and a gang enhancement in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. He's 63, has pleaded not guilty, and has been jailed since September 2023. Prosecutors aren't arguing he fired the shots. Their theory is that he was the shot caller, the person who gave the order and provided the gun, riding in the front passenger seat of the white Cadillac that pulled alongside Tupac at a red light near the Strip. The alleged shooter, Davis's nephew Orlando Anderson, denied involvement and died in Compton in 1998. Judge Carli Kierny has ruled what the state does have admissible. After his arrest Davis reversed course entirely, telling ABC News he's innocent and made it all up for money. Every defense motion has failed, including the immunity claim built on a 2008 proffer agreement with an LAPD task force. Las Vegas police had those 2008 statements by 2009 and made no arrest for fourteen years.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis is heading to trial in Las Vegas on a murder charge connected to the 1996 shooting death of Tupac Shakur. He is the only person ever charged in the case. He has pleaded not guilty.The prosecution's evidence centers on statements Davis made over more than a decade — to police in a 2008 proffer session, on BET's "Death Row Chronicles" documentary, and in his 2019 book "Compton Street Legend." In each account, Davis placed himself in a white Cadillac alongside his nephew Orlando Anderson, whom he identified as the shooter.Davis's defense argues the 2008 statements were made under a promise of immunity connected to the LAPD's investigation into the Biggie Smalls case. Prosecutors contend Davis voided that protection by voluntarily repeating the same confessions in public forums for the next fifteen years.The case is nearly thirty years old. Anderson was killed in 1998. The weapon has never been recovered. Many potential witnesses have died. The jury pool will include people who were children — or not yet born — when the shooting happened.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis assesses the strengths and weaknesses of a prosecution built almost entirely on the defendant's own words, and what happens when a cold case this famous finally meets a jury.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
