Convicted Tupac murder orchestrator Duane "Keffe D" Davis moved to high-security prison
Duane “Keffe D” Davis, sentenced to 40 years to life for the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, was transferred from a Las Vegas jail to High Desert State Prison, a maximum-security facility.
Duane “Keffe D” Davis, the only person ever charged in connection with rapper Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder, was relocated to High Desert State Prison, a maximum-security facility in the Las Vegas area, according to Las Vegas 8 News Now. The move follows his sentencing on October 13, when a jury found him guilty of first-degree murder and a judge imposed a term of 40 years to life.
Prosecutors said Davis helped plan the drive-by shooting that killed Shakur as retaliation after Shakur and his entourage allegedly attacked Davis’s nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Shakur was shot on September 7, 1996, while riding in a BMW with Suge Knight and died six days later at age 25.
The transfer places Davis in a high-security environment shortly after his conviction, marking a new phase in the case that remained unsolved for nearly three decades.
