Music News: Tupac Murder Suspect Fails To Suppress Evidence

The man charged with murder for his alleged role in the 1996 shooting death of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur has lost his bid to suppress key evidence.

Duane âKeffe Dâ Davis argued it was obtained through an unlawful nighttime search, but a judge denied the request at a Tuesday hearing, Rolling Stone reports.

His defence lawyers argued in filings obtained by the outlet that Davis was a retired grandfather and cancer survivor who âcooperated politelyâ when a detective knocked on his door during daylight hours before the July 2023 search.Â

The lawyers said police made âstrategic omissionsâ when they portrayed Davis as a âmultiple-time convicted felonâ with a gun arrest in their search warrant application.Â

According to the lawyers, Davis left the drug trade in 2008 and had a decade of lawful employment afterwards, working as an oil refinery inspector.Â

Prosecutors allege he orchestrated Shakurâs drive-by killing and supplied the gun that also wounded Suge Knight, co-founder of Death Row Records, who was driving along the Vegas Strip.Â

Authorities say the attack was retaliation after Shakur got in a fight with Orlando Anderson hours earlier inside a casino on 6 September, 1996.

During a 2008 interview with law enforcement, Davis claimed Sean âDiddyâ Combs, the founder of Bad Boy Records, offered $1 million (£740,000) to have Knight and Shakur killed amid a feud.Â

Combs has vehemently denied the allegation.
