Defense attorney Carl Arnold claims that his client, Duane “Keffe D” Davis, accused of killing Tupac Shakur in 1996, has given inconsistent stories and that prosecutors lack crucial evidence. Arnold alleges that Davis’s account, including his 2008 police interviews and 2019 memoir, is fabricated for financial gain. The prosecution, however, maintains that evidence against Davis is substantial and that his credibility will be a jury matter. Davis, held on $750,000 bail, pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. If convicted, he faces life imprisonment. Arnold plans to call Suge Knight, who was wounded in the shooting, as a witness, while Davis himself will not testify. The defense intends to challenge the lack of physical evidence linking Davis to the scene and emphasize the absence of video footage identifying him in Las Vegas at the time of the killing.
