Tupac Shakur's Alleged Killer Denied Release Amid Concerns He Plans To Sell Life Story

An ailing former Los Angeles-area gang leader will stay in jail ahead of his trial for the 1996 murder of the rap legend.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — An ailing former Los Angeles-area gang leader has been denied release from a Las Vegas jail ahead of his trial in the 1996 killing of music legend Tupac Shakur, despite a bid by a hip-hop music figure to underwrite his $750,000 bond.
A Nevada judge rejected house arrest with electronic monitoring for Duane “Keffe D” Davis, 61, saying she wasn’t satisfied with assurances that Davis and his would-be benefactor — Cash “Wack 100” Jones — weren’t planning to reap profits from the sale of Davis’ life story.
A Nevada law prohibits convicted killers from profiting from their crime.
Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny said in her ruling issued Wednesday that a review of Jones’ financial records also did little to address her concerns that Jones might be a “‘front’ or ‘middleman’ for the true bond poster.”
Davis has sought to be released since shortly after his arrest last September made him the only person ever charged with a crime in the killing, which has drawn intense interest and speculation for 27 years.
