Duane “Keefe D” Davis, a suspect in the 2Pac murder case, has been hit with an additional charge after getting into a physical altercation in jail. Davis was caught fighting with another inmate at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas. The fight, which was caught on security cameras, has led to Davis being charged with battery for his role in the incident. This new charge adds to the serious legal situation Davis is already facing.

Davis has been incarcerated since September 2023, following his arrest for allegedly orchestrating the 1996 murder of rapper 2Pac Shakur. His arrest marked the first breakthrough in the decades-old case, which had remained unsolved for years. Davis has pled not guilty to the charge of murder with a deadly weapon, and his trial is set to begin in May 2024.
His defense lawyer has vigorously denied the allegations, arguing that there’s no direct evidence linking Davis to the crime. The lawyer further stated, “He did what Detective [Greg] Kading did: He put out a book, and he made money. Even the state’s main investigator who testified at the grand jury said this is all about making money.”
Despite Davis’s claims, the case remains highly publicized, with many still seeking justice for 2Pac. The addition of the battery charge only complicates his legal battles, with his trial in May likely to be a key moment in the ongoing investigation.
