Overview
- Jury selection opened in Clark County, Nevada, on Monday, Aug. 10, as a monthlong trial against 63‑year‑old Duane “Keffe D” Davis got under way.
- The prosecution says Davis planned the September 1996 ambush and supplied the Glock used in the attack rather than pulling the trigger himself.
- Prosecutors are relying largely on Davis’s interviews, documentary appearances and a 2019 memoir as their chief evidence against him.
- Davis has denied writing the memoir and has said he was not in Las Vegas the night Tupac was shot, and the defense will challenge the authorship and accuracy of his past statements.
- The case faces gaps from three decades of delay: no recovered physical evidence, more than 200 potential witnesses, faded memories and some deceased actors, with high‑profile witnesses such as Suge Knight not guaranteed to testify.
