After eight months in the Clark County Detention Center, Keefe D, legal name Duane D, seeks release on bail as he awaits trial for the murder of rap legend Tupac Shakur.
The 61-year-old, implicated in the infamous 1996 shooting, appeared in a Clark County courtroom where he expressed readiness to post $750,000 for bail.
According to local news outlet KTNV, Keefe D addressed the court on Thursday (June 20), outlining his financial commitment to secure his release pending trial.
Judge Carli Kierny is scheduled to set conditions for Keefe D’s potential bail release during a hearing on Tuesday (June 25).
Keefe D’s legal saga has been intertwined with the enduring mystery surrounding Tupac Shakur’s death. He claims to have been one of four individuals in a white Cadillac near Suge Knight’s vehicle when the shooting occurred.
Initially implicating his late nephew, Orlando Anderson, as the gunman, Keefe D made headlines earlier this year with startling allegations.
Court proceedings revealed audio recordings where Keefe D discussed allegations that Diddy had allegedly orchestrated a $1 million contract for Shakur and Knight’s murders, as reported by The Sun.
In his 2019 book, Compton Street Legend, Keefe D provided his own account of the events leading up to Shakur’s murder, adding layers to the ongoing legal and cultural saga surrounding the iconic rapper’s untimely death.
