The Promise Keffe D Got Before Naming Tupac's Shooter

Thirty years of arguments about who shot Tupac Shakur came down to a speaker in a Las Vegas courtroom playing Duane "Keffe D" Davis's own voice. The jury in the Tupac Shakur trial heard his 2008 account of the white Cadillac and the night of September 7, 1996, along with the promise detectives made before he said a word: none of it could ever be used against him.

Davis is not charged with firing the shots. The state's theory is orchestration, alleging he got the gun after Orlando Anderson was beaten at the MGM Grand and moved it toward the back seat, where Anderson allegedly used it on Shakur and Marion "Suge" Knight. On tape, Davis says the seat he occupied was the only reason he did not pull the trigger himself.

The room itself is part of the story. The detectives were chasing the Notorious B.I.G. case and testified they never raised Tupac. Davis brought it up on his own, reversing the denials he gave the FBI in 1998 and 1999.

Anderson died in 1998 without being charged. The gun and the Cadillac were never recovered. Davis became a confidential informant, then a memoir author, then a defendant. Prosecutors say his years of public storytelling killed the confidentiality deal, and the indictment landed in September 2023. He has pleaded not guilty and faces life.

This channel is following every day of the trial that finally puts the question to a jury, and the answer may come from the defendant's own mouth.
