Keefe D will have to sit behind bars heading into trial. A judge overseeing the Tupac murder trial has rejected his most recent bail request.

As reported by Newsweek, Clark District Court Judge Carli Kierny did not approve Duane Keith “Keefe D” Davis’ plea for bond. Earlier this summer, record executive Cash “Wack 100” Jones offered to post the $750,000. On Tuesday, Aug. 27, the magistrate made it clear he has doubts why the entertainment manager would support the self-proclaimed Southside Crip shot caller during his legal troubles. “I have a sense that things are trying to be covered up,” Judge Kierny said while alluding to him having more questions than answers about where the money came from.

After his formal rejection Keefe D’s lawyer asked the court to postpone the trial date to 2025 as the state has a new discovery that his team has yet to review. “Based upon conversations with Mr. Davis there’s certain motions that he needs to file in regards to potentially dismissing the case which I will not be able to prepare until sometime in October,” Carl Arnold added.
Later in the proceedings, Keefe D claimed that two correctional officers assaulted him in his cell. The trial has been rescheduled to March 2025. You can watch footage from the court session below.
