Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, 60, has been charged with one count of murder with use of a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement.
Davis, 60, appeared before district court judge Tara Jones. He told Jones that he retained counsel, but his counsel could not appear and requested a two-week continuance, which Jones granted. Davis is scheduled to appear in court again on Oct. 19 at 9 a.m. local time.
Clark County district attorney Steve Wolfson said in a news conference Wednesday that Davis was meant to be arraigned and enter a plea, but that will now be delayed until he appears in court with his lawyer. Once Davis makes his plea, the judge will set a date for a jury trial. Davis has been charged with one count of murder with use of a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement. He was arrested on Friday, Sept.
Shakur was 25 years old when he was killed in a drive-by shooting on the Las Vegas Strip on Sept. 7, 1996. Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo described Davis as the"on-ground, on-site commander" who"ordered the death" of the hip-hop icon. "It's a cold case. It's been lingering for 27 years. But I felt there was sufficient legally admissible evidence to move forward, that's why we presented it to a grand jury," Wolfson said in response to a question from CBS News correspondent Elise Preston during the news conference.
