The trial for the murder of rap icon 2Pac faces a delay, sparking interest and speculation.
- Scheduled to kick off next month, the trial is now pushed to February 2026.
- Defense lawyers presented fresh evidence potentially proving Keefe D’s absence from the crime scene.
- Judge Carli Kierny agreed more time was needed for investigations and witness interviews.
- Keefe D, the sole accused, remains in custody amid ongoing legal twists.
Get ready for another twist in the 2Pac murder case saga! Originally set to begin soon, the court has decided to move the trial date to February 9, 2026, giving everyone involved more time to sort things out.
The reason for the delay? Keefe D’s legal team claims to have dug up some brand-new evidence. They’ve found witnesses who say Keefe D was nowhere near the scene when the legendary rapper was tragically shot back in September 1996 on the bustling Vegas strip.
During a recent hearing, Judge Carli Kierny acknowledged that more legwork was needed for Keefe D’s defense to be solid. She said, “It looks like there are quite a few things that are left to be done…” and confirmed that Keefe D agreed to the postponement.
Now, Keefe D—real name Duane Davis—has been in a legal limelight ever since he was arrested in September 2023. He’s been accused of orchestrating the shooting, marking the first major arrest in this decades-old unsolved mystery that has fascinated fans for years.
Even more drama unfolded when Keefe D tried to get his charge dismissed recently. He argued that he had made a deal with law enforcement, which should protect him from prosecution due to a statement he made in 2008. However, prosecutors and the judge saw things differently.
Interestingly, Keefe D’s team insists that any conversations he had about the murder were purely for entertainment—talk about a plot twist! It’s worth noting, Keefe D wasn’t accused of actually pulling the trigger. Instead, attention has shifted to his nephew Orlando Anderson, who, many believe, fired the lethal shots. Anderson, though, sadly passed away in 1998.
With the trial now set for 2026, the world will have to wait a bit longer to seek justice for 2Pac’s untimely death.
