Keefe D, a key suspect in the long-unsolved murder of 2Pac, finds himself in hot water again, facing charges from a jailhouse brawl.
- A 61-year-old former gang member, Keefe D, was declared guilty of battery following an altercation with a fellow inmate.
- The confrontation, described by authorities as “mutual combat,” involved grappling and fist-fighting and was caught on camera.
- Keefe D insists he acted in self-defense, as guards had to use pepper spray to break up the fight.
- He remains in custody, awaiting trial for 2Pac’s murder in February 2026, where he claims complete innocence.
In a wild turn of events, Duane “Keefe D” Davis, entangled in the longstanding mystery of 2Pac’s murder, now finds himself guilty of another crime. This time, it’s his antics behind bars that caught attention after he clashed with a fellow inmate at the Clark County Detention Center.
The 61-year-old former gang member, now serving time, was found guilty of battery stemming from a jailhouse tussle in December, as determined by a grand jury on April 9. According to KTNV, the fight was marked by both participants throwing punches and grappling, adding another charge to Keefe D’s criminal record.
Captured on surveillance, the scuffle turned chaotic enough that guards had to use pepper spray to regain control. Even as the dust settles, Keefe D stands by his claim of self-defense, asserting he was merely “standing his ground” during the altercation.
Keefe’s troubles began back in September 2023, with authorities arresting him for his alleged role in orchestrating the murder of iconic rapper 2Pac. This arrest marked a significant breakthrough in a case that has puzzled fans and law enforcement since 1996.
Despite the charge of using a deadly weapon to commit murder, Keefe maintains his innocence. He’s set to stay in custody until his trial for 2Pac’s murder kicks off in February 2026. During this time, Keefe D has openly questioned the evidence against him, stating it lacks substance.
In a striking interview, Keefe pointed fingers at a former bodyguard of Suge Knight, naming him as the brains behind 2Pac’s murder. “I did not do it,” he asserted to ABC News, emphasizing that prosecutors “don’t have nothing” to back up their case against him.
Keefe D claims an alibi on the night of 2Pac’s tragic shooting, purportedly surrounded by 20 to 30 individuals who can verify his whereabouts in Los Angeles, far from the scene in Las Vegas. Instead, he accused Reggie Wright Jr., an ex-Death Row Records security head, of orchestrating the murder.
Reggie Wright Jr., who previously testified against Keefe, refutes these allegations, expressing his distress over being implicated. “One of the worst days of my life when I heard that that happened,” he recounted to ABC News, distancing himself from the murder plot.
Keefe D’s legal entanglements deepen as he navigates his defense on two fronts, hoping to clear his name once and for all.
