Duane “Keffe D” Davis, convicted of the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, maintains his innocence and claims he will appeal the verdict. He asserts that previous statements admitting involvement were fabricated for profit and to avoid other charges.
On Monday, August 31, a jury convicted Davis following over two hours of deliberation, almost 30 years after Shakur was shot in Las Vegas. The shooting occurred in a BMW with Death Row CEO Suge Knight. Davis was accused of orchestrating the hit, even if he didn’t fire the shots himself. Judge Carli Kierny will sentence him on October 13.
Speaking from the Clark County Detention Center, Davis told *The Hollywood Reporter* he is not worried about a life sentence. “I’m a good man. I’m a good person,” he stated. He also claimed, “I’m getting out on an appeal… They violated my civil rights!” Davis alleges that his previous boasts in television docuseries, YouTube podcasts, and his autobiography, *Compton Street Legend*, were largely fabricated to avoid indictment on other charges and for financial gain.
Davis now claims he was not in Las Vegas on the night of the shooting.
