Duane "Keffe D" Davis is now set to stand trial in February 2026, nearly 30 years after the famed rapper was shot and killed in Las Vegas.

The trial for Tupac Shakur murder suspect Duane "Keefe D" Davis has reportedly been pushed back to 2026.

Attorneys for Duane “Keffe D” Davis filed a motion Friday in a Nevada court, stating that Davis’ defense has identified witnesses who can testify that he was not present at the shooting, despite his alleged self-implication in his memoir, “Compton Street Legend,” KSNV reported.

The trial for the shooting death of Tupac Shakur has been pushed back by almost a year following a request from the defence team.

Keefe D will still stand trial in April of this year, though, based on a separate incident which occurred last year while he was incarcerated.

Attorneys for the man suspected of killing rap icon Tupac Shakur want to delay next month’s trial, saying more time is needed for investigative work to ensure that Duane “Keffe D” Davis gets a fair trial.

So that Mr. Davis can have effective assistance of counsel.” Davis, currently held at the Clark County Detention Center in Nevada, faces one count of murder with a deadly weapon in connection with the infamous September 1996 shooting that left Tupac Shakur dead at the age of 25.
