Suspect in Tupac Shakur killing seeks to delay trial as defense identifies new witnesses

Attorneys for the man suspected of killing rap icon Tupac Shakur want to delay next month’s trial, saying more time is needed for investigative work to ensure that Duane “Keffe D” Davis gets a fair trial.

The motion filed Friday in a Nevada court provides insight into Davis’ defense, noting that a private investigator has identified witnesses who can testify that he was not at the scene of the 1996 shooting, nor was he in Las Vegas at the time.

The motion also suggests that someone else may have orchestrated the shooting and that witnesses who could testify on the matter are being interviewed.

The defense team said in a statement that the new developments and the need to interview key witnesses necessitate a delay.

A hearing was scheduled Tuesday to discuss the timing of the trial, currently set to begin in March.

“This case involves decades-old allegations, and with every new piece of evidence, it becomes increasingly clear that critical facts have yet to be fully examined,” said attorney Carl Arnold, who is leading Davis’ defense.

On the night of Sept. 7, 1996, Shakur was in a BMW being driven by Death Row Records founder Marion “Suge” Knight.

They were waiting at a red light when a white Cadillac pulled up next to them and gunfire erupted.

This all happened so long ago. This guy could also have been the shooter on the grassy knoll.

I remember being in grad school when people were talking about this and asking everybody who “Two Pack” was. I’d never heard of him. I still haven’t heard one of his songs or seen anything he was in. I get the distinct impression I missed absolutely nothing.
