Episode Details

The trial of Duane Davis, aka Keffe D., kicks off Monday with prosecutors alleging he masterminded Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder by supplying the gun and planning the hit after his nephew clashed with Tupac in Las Vegas. Though not the shooter, Davis faces murder charges under Nevada law for aiding the crime. His memoir, “Compton Street Legend,” is central to the prosecution’s case, where he admits being in the car that pulled up beside Tupac and Suge Knight — claiming gunfire erupted when Tupac reached under his seat. The defense may argue Tupac was reaching for a weapon, though no gun was found in his car. Davis says it was retaliation for his nephew Orlando Anderson, who died in 1998 and was suspected in the shooting. Key witnesses include Suge Knight (currently incarcerated) and former Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, who was on duty at the time. Reggie Wright Jr., Death Row’s former security chief, is also subpoenaed despite denying involvement. Notably, Sean “Diddy” Combs — whom Davis blames for wanting Tupac dead — won’t testify, as he’s serving federal time for unrelated crimes. This high-stakes trial promises drama, history, and celebrity intrigue.
