Overview
- Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday, August 10, in Las Vegas for Duane “Keffe D” Davis, who faces one count of murder with a deadly weapon tied to alleged gang activity.
- A judge has ruled that Davis’s 2019 memoir and a 2008 recorded police interview are admissible and prosecutors plan to use those statements as central evidence.
- The prosecution says it need not prove who fired the gun and will seek to show Davis was the “shot-caller” who supplied the weapon in retaliation for an MGM Grand fight.
- Judge Carli Kierny signaled she may allow Davis to post bail before or during the trial, a move that could change his custody status but not the evidence the jury will hear.
- With no recovered gun or Cadillac, credibility is pivotal as Davis recently recanted earlier admissions in a jailhouse interview and prosecutors released a high-profile witness list that includes Suge Knight and several of Tupac’s relatives.
