Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the man accused of planning the fatal shooting of 2Pac, gave his first televised interview to ABC News since being arrested.
He was apprehended in September 2023 and entered a plea of not guilty to the murder charges in November of the same year.
He is currently being held at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas as he awaits his trial, scheduled to commence in February 2026.
During the interview, Keefe D got emotional about what he’s missing out on during his prison stay. “They ain’t got no evidence, they don’t got nothing. They know they don’t have nothing,” he explained, “They can’t even place me out here [at the time of shooting], they don’t have no gun, no car, no Keefe D, no nothing. Everybody on video but Keefe D. This is wrong, man […] I thought I was gonna do college with my grandkids. They’re pretty good athletes.”
Later on in the interview, he explained how he’s made positive changes in his life. He also expressed regret over past statements he’s made about the case.
“Eighteen years later, I did everything they asked me to do. Get new friends, stop selling drugs. I stopped all that,” he claimed, “I shouldn’t have said nothing. I shouldn’t have said nothing. And I’m innocent, man. And God got my back and God will see me through this.”
Keefe D‘s remarks come just a few weeks after his legal team managed to get his trial pushed back. It was initially slated to begin later this month.
His team claims to have come across new testimony from a private investigator, however. Allegedly, it proves that Keefe D was not in Las Vegas at the time of 2Pac’s shooting. “This case involves decades-old allegations, and with every new piece of evidence,” their motion stated. “It becomes increasingly clear that critical facts have yet to be fully examined.”
