A motion to dismiss the murder case against Duane “Keffe D” Davis, accused of murdering Tupac Shakur, has been filed by his legal representative. The attorney contends that the lengthy delay in prosecuting the case, along with the apparent dismissal of prior immunity agreements, infringes upon Davis’ constitutional rights.
Davis has been in custody since his arrest in 2023 and asserts that he received immunity after admitting his involvement in the homicide during a 2008 investigation. His attorney stated, “The prosecution has failed to justify a decades-long delay that has significantly prejudiced my client. Additionally, the disregard for immunity agreements challenges the integrity of the criminal justice system and raises serious questions about this case.”
The case was revived based on extensive evidence that prosecutors claim indicates Davis fired the fatal shots that killed Tupac. Davis, who has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, refutes these allegations, stating that his accounts of organizing the drive-by shooting, including those in his memoir, were intended for entertainment and profit. The trial remains scheduled to commence on March 17.
