Duane “Keffe D” Davis ended his defence case in the trial over Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder after calling three former Las Vegas police officers. His lawyer sought to create reasonable doubt by questioning whether police sufficiently investigated alternative leads, including reports of a light-coloured Cadillac connected to Suge Knight’s convoy.

The defence highlighted that officers had recorded vehicle registration numbers at Knight’s home on the night of the shooting, while a former homicide detective said parts of the investigative record were lost during a change of electronic systems. Prosecutors allege Davis was the “shot-caller” in a rented white Cadillac and enabled his nephew, Orlando Anderson, to shoot at the BMW carrying Shakur and Knight after an earlier confrontation; closing arguments are scheduled for Monday.
