In a surprising turn of events, Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the man allegedly involved in the murder of iconic rapper Tupac Shakur, has been granted bail despite initial resistance from prosecutors.
The decision was made during a Tuesday hearing in Vegas, where Davis' legal team successfully argued that he posed no danger to society and was not a flight risk, according to a recent report by TMZ.
However, the grant of bail comes at a substantial cost, with the amount set at a staggering $750,000. Davis will be allowed temporary freedom under house arrest with electronic monitoring until his trial.
This development raises eyebrows, especially considering the gravity of the charges against him.
Davis, who openly confessed multiple times to his involvement in Tupac’s murder over the years, was only arrested in September 2023—27 years after the tragic incident in 1996.
Despite his admissions, he maintained that he was not the trigger man but admitted to being in the car on the fateful night of Tupac's shooting.
Prosecutors, who claim to have substantial evidence against Davis, initially opposed the bail request, deeming it "absurd." They cited numerous reasons for denial, emphasizing the potential danger Davis poses to the public.
The delayed arrest, according to the prosecutors, does not diminish the severity of the allegations.
In response, Davis' legal team countered these arguments, asserting that he is not a danger to society, especially considering the prolonged period it took for law enforcement to apprehend him.
Furthermore, they reiterated his plea of not guilty, suggesting that his past confessions were merely for attention and financial gain.
