The District Attorney says Tupac's murder suspect was plotting to harm witnesses and should remain in jail.
Prosecutors in Las Vegas filed court papers accusing the man charged in the killing of Tupac Shakur of discussing plans to potentially assassinate witnesses who might testify against him at trial.
From jailhouse interviews recorded by authorities, prosecutors said Thursday in court filings they learned that Duane "Keffe D" Davis poses "credible threats" to witnesses and that is one of several reasons Judge Carli Kierny should decline Davis' request to be released on bail until trial.
The Clark County District Attorney's Office, prosecuting Davis, alleges that the suspect was a feared gang member back in the 1990s and was the "shot caller" on the night in 1996 when Shakur was gunned down while in the passenger seat of a stopped car by the Vegas Strip. According to prosecutors, Davis is willing to play "shot caller" once again as he stands charged in connection with Tupac's murder and so he should remain locked up.
Davis' "credible threats to witnesses demonstrate both a consciousness of guilt," and that he "poses a danger to the community," prosecutors said.
