Las Vegas ( AP ) - A Nevada judge has rebuked a defense attorney as former Los Angeles - area gang leader Duane Keffe D Davis seeks to be freed from jail to house arrest before his trial in the 1996 killing of hip - hop legend Tupac Shakur . Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny has expressed concerns about the source of the money for Davis ' bail bond , wanting to ensure transparency in the process.
In court , Kierny accused the defense attorney of shaping media attention around the case involving one of hip - hop 's most enduring mysteries . Davis , who has been held in a Las Vegas jail since his arrest last September , raised objections about police and prosecutors reviewing materials compiled by former Los Angeles police detective Greg Kading for a book about Shakur 's killing.
Davis , the only person charged in the Shakur killing , has been vocal about his innocence and has accused prosecutors of " trashing " his family in the case . He has pleaded not guilty to first - degree murder and faces potential life imprisonment if convicted.
Duane Keefe D Davis , previously known for cooperating with the LAPD in an undercover operation , is alleged to have implicated Diddy in 2Pac 's murder . Legal documents revealed Davis ' involvement in efforts to corroborate the conspiracy that Sean Combs was connected to the Las Vegas shooting . Davis flew to New York City alongside LA law enforcement for the operation targeting Harlem gangster Eric Von Zip Martin.
The legal documents highlighted Davis ' interactions with Martin and his nephew during the operation , where he allegedly attempted to recruit the gangster for drug trafficking . Diddy 's name appeared numerous times in the legal documents , with transcripts showing Davis accusing Combs of involvement in a hit on Suge Knight and Pac.
The Rolling Stone 's expose on Diddy explored his relationship with 2Pac , with revelations about Diddy 's jealousy of Biggie and Pac 's friendship . The article delved into the dynamics between the East Coast and West Coast rappers , shedding light on the tensions and conflicts that ultimately led to the tragic deaths of Shakur and Wallace.
In September 2023 , Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson announced Davis ' indictment for the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur . The legal proceedings surrounding Davis , Diddy , and their alleged involvement in the hip - hop legend 's death continue to unravel , shedding new light on an enduring mystery in the music industry.
