Tupac Killer's New Story: Not in the Cadillac?

Duane "Keffe D" Davis was convicted of first-degree murder on August 31 for his role in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. In a jailhouse interview after his conviction, Davis presented a revised account of the night, asserting he was not in the Cadillac from which prosecutors alleged Shakur was shot.

Davis stated that after attending a Mike Tyson fight, he went to a Los Angeles bar and then returned home. This new narrative contradicts earlier statements where he placed himself in the Cadillac. Jurors heard recordings and read his memoir detailing his presence in the vehicle.

Prosecutors argued Davis helped orchestrate a retaliatory attack following an earlier assault on his nephew. They contended Davis acquired the weapon used in the shooting. His defense questioned the reliability of his prior statements, suggesting they were exaggerated or made for financial gain.

Davis is scheduled for sentencing on October 13 and faces a maximum penalty of life in prison without parole. He maintains his innocence and plans to appeal the verdict, possibly citing protections from proffer agreements with federal investigators.
