LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Nevada prosecutors are strongly opposing bail or release for Duane Keefe D Davis, the man accused of orchestrating the 1996 murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur.

In new court documents, they argue Davis poses too much of a public danger to be freed ahead of his June trial, as reported by TMZ.



 

Nevada prosecutors argue Keefe D poses a public danger to be given bail

Prosecutors laid out reasons why releasing Keefe D ahead of his murder trial in June would be an 'absurd' request in new court documents. They stated that Keefe D is a former high-ranking member of the South Side Compton Crips gang and has confessed multiple times over the years to his involvement in Tupac’s killing.

Despite now appearing to distance himself from those previous confessions and pleading not guilty, prosecutors claimed they have 'mountains of evidence' tying Keefe D to the coordination of the drive-by shooting in Las Vegas that killed Tupac on September 7, 1996.

This evidence includes Keefe D’s own words from interviews and statements given to authorities. Prosecutors also alleged Keefe D has made 'credible threats' towards witnesses while in custody awaiting trial.

Given these reasons, the state has urged the judge to deny bail and keep Keefe D imprisoned until the start of the trial in June, claiming he poses too much of a public danger.

Tupac was fatally wounded when an assailant fired four gunshots at him on September 7, 1996, as he was halted at a traffic light in Las Vegas. He succumbed to his injuries six days later on September 13, 1996, at the age of 25.

Internet reacts to prosecutors' argument against Keefe D's bail

In response to the prosecutors' argument that Keefe D is too dangerous to be given bail, the online community erupted with diverse reactions.

One Facebook user questioned the impact of bail, stating, "Dude was out a whole 30 years, what’s bail gonna hurt?" Another expressed surprise at the sudden characterization of danger: "He’s been free all these years and now all of a sudden, he's dangerous."

A third user criticized the perceived delay in action, stating, "The Feds knew he did it for years but now he’s dangerous." Meanwhile, someone else suggested, "Umm, he’s been out long enough."

Amidst these opinions, a call for harsh punishment emerged, with a user asserting, "He needs to rot in prison." Echoing the prosecutors' stance, another user emphasized, "The suspect should remain in jail."
