2Pac‘s murder trial has been delayed until next year after new evidence was discovered, allegedly supporting Keefe D‘s not guilty plea.
Originally scheduled to start next month in Las Vegas, the trial was postponed to February 9, 2026, by Judge Carli Kierny during a hearing on Tuesday (February 18).
The ruling came after Keefe D (real name Duane Davis), who is the only person to ever be charged with the killing of the rap legend, filed a motion to delay the trial, citing new witness testimony which apparently helps to prove his innocence.
Judge Kierny said during the hearing: “It looks like there are quite a few things that are left to be done to get this case prepared so that Mr Davis can have effective assistance of counsel.”
The judge also asked Keefe D if he agreed to the delay, which he did.
In the aforementioned motion, Keefe D’s legal team argued that they needed more time to interview witnesses and do investigative work that was critical to their case.
According to the defense, investigators have discovered witnesses who can prove that Keefe D was not at the scene of the murder, which occured in September 1996 on the Las Vegas strip.
Keefe D has been in police custody since September 2023 when he was charged with orchestrating the fatal shooting of 2Pac, which marked the first arrest in the decades-old case.
He also recently attempted to get his murder charge dismissed, claiming that he had previously agreed an immunity deal with law enforcement.
The former Compton Crip told detectives in 2008 that he was involved in ‘Pac’s murder, but his lawyers argued that he made this admission as part of a proffer agreement, meaning anything he said could not be used against him in court, and that this agreement should still stand.
Prosecutors denied that there was any evidence of such an agreement, which the judge ultimately agreed with, ruling in their favor.
Keefe’s legal team have also said that various other statements he has made about 2Pac’s murder were just for “entertainment purposes.”
The 61-year-old is not accused of directly firing the gun which killed ‘Pac. The triggerman is widely believed to have been Keefe D’s nephew and fellow Crip, Orlando Anderson, who was attacked by the rapper earlier that night.
Anderson himself was killed himself in 1998 in a gang shooting.
This a bad look for you vlad. Anyway we know who was the real mastermind it was Quincy Jones!
Anyone relying on Vlad for solid intel is either a rat or fool.
whoever killed pac must have been really pissed
When hoaxes go wrong. If they have legit witnesses who can prove he wasn’t in Las Vegas, this shows that they let this fool walk around and take credit for killing 2Pac because of “immunity” when that never happened at all. Wrote a book about it and everything. The Las Vegas police department is going to inadvertently expose a lot of this fake, celebrity stageplay weirdness by arresting him in the first place. Apparently they didn’t know they were supposed to go along with the script.
Uhhh, tupac isn’t dead, idiots. He’s in Cuba. His album tells all.
Sitting in jail for 2.5 years before they can agree on if you’re innocent or not is WILD. If it’s takes you that long you shouldn’t even have a case.
This is BS he already ratted on himself on Murder Rap saying after his nephew got stomped by Tupac and Death Row that Eron Von Zip Puffy’s associate supplied him with a gun and told him now is time to take care of that thing. Keefe is seen online on youtube videos BET Networks talking about looking for Tupac and Suge Knight at Club 662 after the beatdown. This pinpoints dude in Vegas. Stupid jurors for even taking witness statements into consideration.
