Keffe D Trial Set to Begin as Court Clears Key Evidence and Lists Suge Knight as Witness

Prosecutors plan to use Davis’s recorded interview together with testimony from more than 200 potential witnesses to argue he organized the 1996 drive-by that killed Tupac Shakur.

Overview

  • Davis, 63, remains jailed after a judge denied his request for more time to post bail and jury selection is scheduled to begin on Monday, August 10, 2026.
  • The court ruled that prosecutors may introduce Davis’s 2008 recorded police interview and passages from his 2019 memoir as evidence over the defense’s objections.
  • The Clark County District Attorney filed a 16‑page supplemental witness list naming more than 200 potential witnesses, including Marion “Suge” Knight, the only surviving eyewitness who was inside Tupac’s BMW.
  • Davis has pleaded not guilty and in recent jailhouse interviews he denied killing Tupac while accusing a former Death Row security chief as an alternate suspect; prosecutors are pursuing a theory that he organized the attack rather than fired the gun.
  • The trial, expected to last about a month, will test decades of memories and records and could result in life in prison without parole if Davis is convicted, offering the family a long‑sought legal reckoning for a case that went cold for years.
