Keefe D, a central figure in one of hip-hop’s most infamous cases, is facing mounting legal troubles as his trial for the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur looms closer. Charged with the rapper’s murder in 2023, Duane “Keefe D” Davis has pleaded not guilty and is set to stand trial on March 17. However, his time behind bars has been anything but smooth.
A Prison Fight Leads to New Charges
The latest twist in Keefe D’s legal saga comes after a violent altercation at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas. According to TMZ, Keefe D was involved in a physical fight with a fellow inmate that escalated into what officials described as “mutual combat.” The altercation included grappling, throwing punches, and even Keefe putting the other inmate in a headlock.
Prison guards were forced to intervene, using pepper spray to break up the brawl. As a result, Keefe D is now facing an additional charge of battery filed by the other inmate. While the cause of the fight remains unclear, Keefe D insists he was merely “standing his ground” and claims he wasn’t at fault.
