Judge Rules Tupac Murder Interview Admissible
28 Jul
Summary
- A judge ruled a 2008 interview can be used in a murder trial.
- Duane 'Keffe D' Davis is accused of killing Tupac Shakur in 1996.
- The trial is scheduled to begin on August 10.
A Nevada judge ruled on Tuesday that a 2008 interview given by Duane "Keffe D" Davis to police is admissible in his trial for the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. The trial is scheduled to commence on August 10.
Davis, 63, is accused of Shakur's murder, a case that remained unsolved for years. His public statements, including those in a co-written book, brought renewed attention to the incident. The defense contested the interview's admissibility, claiming it was meant to be confidential.
Prosecutors successfully argued for its inclusion, and the interview is expected to be a key piece of evidence. Portions of the recording have previously appeared in documentaries and a book detailing the murder investigations of both Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. Shakur was fatally shot on September 7, 1996, near the Las Vegas Strip.
