The man accused of orchestrating the 1996 murder of rap legend Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas has secured money for bail. Posting the $750,00 could get Duane \u201cKeffe D\u201d Davis, 61, released from prison to serve under house arrest until his trial.<\/p>\n

When setting bail on Jan. 9, Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny said she would need Davis to explain how he came up with the money before releasing him.<\/p>\n

This source hearing, as it\u2019s called, is scheduled for Tuesday morning, according to reporting by KLAS-TV\/Las Vegas.<\/em><\/p>\n

Out on M.F. Bail<\/h2>\n

Davis, who was arrested on Sept. 2023 at his home in Henderson, Nev., only actually needed to raise $112,000, since the standard 85% percent will be secured by a bail bond company. In this case, it\u2019s eBAIL, which is owned by Las Vegas bail agent Marc Gabriel.<\/p>\n

Davis, an alleged member of the Southside Compton Crips gang, is the only person ever charged in Shakur’s murder. He\u2019s also the only surviving person who rode in the car from which the shots were fired on Sept. 7, 1996.<\/p>\n

Though he is not charged with pulling the trigger, Davis is accused of orchestrating the crime, which Nevada law also defines as murder.<\/p>\n

Orlando Anderson, Davis\u2019 nephew and fellow alleged Crips member, was questioned but never charged in connection with the crime. He died two years later in a gang-related shootout at a Compton, Calif. car wash.<\/p>\n

Two hours before Skakur was gunned down, he and a posse that included Knight were videotaped stomping on and kicking Anderson as he exited a boxing match at the MGM Grand. All members of the posse, including Shakur, were believed to be affiliated with Mob Piru, a larger part of the Bloods gang, the Crips\u2019 sworn enemy.<\/p>\n

Two other men were suspected of riding in the white Cadillac from which Shakur was shot through the rear left window. Driver Terry Brown and Deandrae \u201cBig Dre\u201d Smith also died without ever being charged.<\/p>\n

Davis, who remains incarcerated at the Clark County Detention Center, pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder last November 2. His trial is scheduled to begin this Nov. 4.<\/p>\n

If convicted, he is likely to spend the rest of his life in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
