Trial for Tupac Murder Suspect Pushed to 2026, Defense Suggests Alternative Suspect

The long-awaited trial for Duane "Keefe D" Davis, the sole suspect charged in the murder of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur, has been delayed until 2026. This postponement prolongs the wait for justice nearly three decades after the fatal shooting rocked the music world. A judge granted the delay after Davis' legal team requested more time to interview new witnesses and build their defense. "It looks like there are quite a few things that are left to be done to get this case prepared so that Mr. Davis can have effective assistance of counsel," Judge Carli Kierny stated in court. Davis, who was arrested in September 2023, has long been implicated in Tupac's murder. Prosecutors argue that he played a key role in the September 6, 1996, drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. They claim he was in the car and provided the gun used in what they believe was a retaliatory attack after Tupac and members of Death Row Records assaulted Davis' nephew, Orlando Anderson, earlier that night at the MGM Grand. Despite previously admitting in interviews and a book that he was present during the shooting, Davis' defense team is now disputing that claim. "Given the magnitude of this case, it is imperative that we have adequate time to present a comprehensive defense," said Carl Arnold, Davis' attorney. "We are actively conducting further investigations, speaking with key witnesses, and ensuring that Mr. Davis receives the fair trial to which he is constitutionally entitled." Arnold even suggested that another person, Reggie Wright Jr., a former Death Row Records security official, may have played a role in Tupac's murder. In response, Wright Jr. firmly denied the accusation, telling ABC News, "Good luck finding someone saying that, that's credible. It's heartbreaking they keep dragging in my name. I didn't have anything to do with that. One of the worst days of my life was when I heard that that happened." Davis is the only person still alive from the group police believe was in the car when the shots were fired. The indictment also names Orlando Anderson, Terrance Brown, and Deandre Smith—all now deceased—as part of the group involved in the attack. Tupac succumbed to his injuries on September 13, 1996, after spending several days in critical condition. His murder remains one of the most infamous unsolved cases in hip-hop history. With the trial now pushed back another year, the wait for closure continues for Tupac's family, friends, and fans. #TupacShakur #KeefeD #HipHopHistory #LasVegas #TrueCrime #JusticeForTupac #UnsolvedMystery Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Whether you watched the 1979 original or the 2017 remake, the premise is hilarious and fun. But apparently several men in 2015 decided to do it for real – and almost walked away with $200-million in cash and jewels! (The Grandpa Gang Jewel Robbery) *** The encounter of Gerry Anderson is one of the most intriguing claims of alien abduction in the United Kingdom. Not least as he wouldn't fully recall the incident that occurred in the early 1950s when he was a 12-year-old boy until decades later under hypnotic regression. (The Alien Abduction of Gerry Anderson) *** In November, 1980 the MGM Grand in Las Vegas caught fire, claiming numerous lives.

Tupac Shakur Murder Trial Moves Forward as Judge Denies Keffe D's Dismissal Motion

Duane “Keffe D” Davis, the only person charged in the 1996 murder of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur, will face trial after a Las Vegas judge denied his motion to dismiss the case. Davis, 61, has been behind bars since being charged in September 2024 with murder with a deadly weapon with intent to promote, further, or assist a criminal gang. Davis's attorney, Carl Arnold, filed a motion earlier this month to dismiss the case, arguing that prosecutors had delayed proceedings and violated an alleged immunity agreement. Arnold contended that Davis cooperated with federal and local authorities, which should have protected him from prosecution. However, prosecutors pushed back, asserting that Davis lacked proof of any such immunity agreement. In their filing, prosecutors emphasized that Davis “doesn't have any quantifiable proof” supporting his immunity claims. During the hearing, District Judge Carli Kierny sided with the prosecution, ruling that the state “never gave [Keffe D] immunity.” The judge's decision clears the way for the case to proceed. Arnold acknowledged the significance of the ruling, stating, “You're not just going to dismiss the biggest case in the U.S. right off the bat. But you have to put these issues out for an appellate court.” He also hinted at a potential appeal to Nevada's highest court. The charges against Davis stem from the infamous drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip that killed Tupac Shakur and injured Death Row Records CEO Marion “Suge” Knight. Prosecutors allege the incident was fueled by a rivalry between the South Side Crips, of which Davis was a member, and the Mob Piru gang associated with Death Row Records. The events of that night, according to prosecutors, were set in motion during a brawl at the MGM Grand involving Shakur, Knight, and Davis's nephew, Orlando Anderson. The altercation reportedly escalated into the deadly shooting that claimed Shakur's life and left the music world reeling. Davis, who has drawn attention for his detailed public accounts of the incident, is accused of procuring the weapon used in the shooting and providing it to Anderson, who was in the backseat of the car. Anderson, who denied involvement, was killed in an unrelated shooting in 1998, leaving Davis as the last living suspect tied to the crime. The case marks a critical moment in the decades-long investigation into one of music's most notorious unsolved murders. With the trial looming, fans and observers alike are watching closely for what may finally be the resolution to a mystery that has haunted the hip-hop community for nearly three decades. #TupacMurderTrial #KeffeD #2PacJustice #TupacShakur #HipHopHistory #LasVegasNews #UnsolvedMysteries Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Las Vegas Hotel Fire: One of the Deadliest Hotel Fires in America. On the fateful morning of November 21, 1980, one of the deadliest hotel fires in U.S. history erupted at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. The blaze claimed 85 lives, injured nearly 700 people, and forever altered fire safety protocols nationwide. This harrowing event, which unfolded in the glittering heart of Las Vegas, remains a chilling reminder of the devastating consequences of safety oversights. A Las Vegas Police Officer on scene tells the story. Check out and follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. The fire began around 7:07 a.m. in a restaurant on the casino’s first floor. A refrigerated pastry display case in The Deli malfunctioned, sparking a blaze that quickly spread through the casino. Within minutes, thick black smoke engulfed the building, rising through elevator shafts and stairwells into the 26-story hotel tower. Of the approximately 5,000 guests and staff inside the MGM Grand that morning, many were trapped in their rooms, succumbing to smoke inhalation. You can listen to the interview as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. Mark Rusin, a former Las Vegas Metro Police officer and retired ATF agent, vividly recalls the chaos. “It was like hell on earth,” Rusin shared during the interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast. As one of the officers on the scene, Rusin and his squad were tasked with the grim duty of recovering bodies from the smoke-filled hotel. Look for supporting stories about this in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. Police and fire crews responded swiftly, with the Clark County Fire Department receiving the first call at 7:17 a.m. Despite their rapid deployment, the fire’s intensity and the building’s design flaws made rescue efforts perilous. Metro Police helicopters airlifted officers to the rooftop, where they descended into the hotel to locate victims. Las Vegas Hotel Fire: One of the Deadliest Hotel Fires in America. It is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “The hallways were pitch black,” Rusin recounted. “We carried gurneys, flashlights, and axes, navigating through the eerie silence broken only by the sounds of distant alarms and our own footsteps.” His team found victims in stairwells and corridors, many having succumbed while desperately trying to escape. Among the 85 fatalities, most deaths were caused by smoke inhalation rather than direct burns. Survivors and responders described harrowing scenes: guests breaking windows to escape, others clinging to balconies awaiting rescue. One victim, described by Rusin, died shielding his wife from the smoke in a final act of love. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. The trauma of that day left an indelible mark on first responders. For Rusin, it led to years of reflection and healing, culminating in his book, Metro: Sin City Chronicles, which details his experiences as a Las Vegas officer. Las Vegas Hotel Fire: One of the Deadliest Hotel Fires in America. Platforms like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Apple Podcasts and Spotify make these stories more accessible. The MGM Grand fire stands as Nevada’s deadliest disaster and the third-deadliest hotel fire in U.S. history, following the Winecoff Hotel fire in Atlanta (1946) and the Dupont Plaza Hotel fire in Puerto Rico (1986). Its impact, however, extended far beyond the immediate tragedy. The incident exposed critical safety flaws, including the absence of sprinklers in the casino and the use of flammable materials in the building’s construction. Keep informed by following the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest, Newsbreak, Medium and other social media outlets. In the aftermath, Nevada implemented sweeping reforms to fire safety codes. These included mandatory sprinkler systems in high-rise buildings, fire-resistant construction materials, and comprehensive evacuation plans. Nationwide, the tragedy became a case study for fire safety and disaster preparedness. Las Vegas Hotel Fire: One of the Deadliest Hotel Fires in America. Decades later, the MGM Grand fire’s story continues to resonate, amplified by social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Survivors, first responders, and historians share their accounts, ensuring the lessons learned are not forgotten. Podcasts on Apple, Spotify, and Newsbreak delve into the tragedy’s details, while platforms like Medium provide in-depth analyses of its lasting impact. Stay up to date by following the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest, Newsbreak, Medium and other social media platforms. Today, the site of the MGM Grand is home to Horseshoe Las Vegas, a vibrant symbol of the city’s resilience. Yet, the memory of that devastating morning in 1980 endures, a somber reminder of the lives lost and the importance of vigilance in safety standards. For those who lived through it, like Mark Rusin, the fire remains a defining moment—a testament to the courage of first responders and the enduring need for preparedness in the face of catastrophe.

The last was taped in late 1984 (@_GrandpaD) TwitPic of the week It's beyond sad to see the Dunes turret marquee in pieces, as shared by @Vegas_visual. A marquee among marquees. A game changer. Its destruction was a giant wake-up call to all who loved the city, it will continue to grow and evolve at any and all expense. Nothing will stop this city from evolving into whatever it needs to be to continue to be one of the most popular tourist destination in the world. So we have to be grateful for what we have and enjoy it while we have it, or risk getting your heart broken.
