Did Keffe D's Own Words Just Convict Him Of Tupac's Murder?

No murder weapon. No DNA. The man prosecutors say pulled the trigger has been dead since 1998. And yet Duane "Keffe D" Davis is on trial in Las Vegas for the murder of Tupac Shakur, largely because of what came out of his own mouth over the past fifteen years. He described his alleged role to the LAPD in a 2008 proffer session. He repeated it on BET's "Death Row Chronicles." He wrote it down in detail in his 2019 memoir, claiming he handed the gun to his nephew Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson and gave the order after a fight at the MGM Grand.  Then came the 2023 arrest, and a very different Keffe D showed up. He told ABC News he's innocent. He said the whole story was invented to sell books. He even claimed he wasn't in Las Vegas the night Tupac died, contradicting his own memoir. Judge Carli Kierny has ruled his statements from all of it admissible, and the immunity argument built around that 2008 proffer has already been rejected.  Las Vegas police had what they needed by 2009. The arrest took fourteen more years. Along the way, Davis burned through three legal teams and picked up a battery conviction behind bars. He's 63 now, charged with murder with a deadly weapon and a gang enhancement, facing life without parole, and he's pleaded not guilty.  Mopreme Shakur says his family has waited thirty years for a courtroom. That courtroom is open now, and the only witness against Davis might be Davis himself, across three different platforms, over fifteen years, in his own words, before he ever expected any of it to end up in front of a jury.
