A former Los Angeles-area gang leader, Duane “Keffe D” Davis, is requesting to be released from jail to prepare for his upcoming trial on a murder charge. Davis, who is accused of involvement in the 1996 killing of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.
Davis' defense attorney has filed documents seeking permission for Davis to post a $750,000 bond for release to house arrest with electronic monitoring. The trial is scheduled for November 4, and if convicted, Davis could face life in prison.
