Tupac Murder Suspect Makes Groundbreaking Confession Decades After Unsolved Crime [DETAILS]

The alleged murderer of Tupac Shakur faced allegations of falsely confessing to the killing of the legendary rapper for financial gain.

According to his lawyer, Keefe D, also known as Duane Davis, fabricated his involvement in the 1996 assassination to capitalize on media interviews and a memoir, inspired by the success of an ex-LAPD officer's book.

Appearing in court, the ex-Los Angeles gang member appeared disheartened, shuffling about with his restrained hands and feet, only to find out that his trial date had been pushed back to November.

Following a recent court hearing, Keefe D's newly appointed attorney, Carl Arnold, expressed optimism about successfully defending his client in what he referred to as a significant legal matter in the history of Las Vegas.

According to Arnold, Keefe's earlier admissions about the murder were reportedly shaped by the interactions with former LAPD task force investigator Greg Kading.

Following his investigations into the deaths of Biggie Smalls and Tupac, Kading authored a book and established a prominent presence in the media spotlight by exploiting those cases.

The lawyer told The Sun, "He did what Detective Kading did. He put out a book and he made money. I mean even the state's main investigator that testified at the grand jury said this is all about making money and that's why he put out the book."

In response to a question about Keefe's motivation, Arnold firmly stated, "I did it for money."

Furthermore, Arnold dismissed the prosecutors' assertion that Keefe D posed a danger to society as "ridiculous."

"I saw an affidavit from a neighbor that lives right next to him and said they were one of the best neighbors."

He went on to explain, "He and his wife sat out in front of the garage, greeted everybody, talked about the grandkids. We never heard about Mr. Davis in regards to being a threat until this trial and when he's getting ready to come out, all of a sudden he's a threat."

In a recent update, Atty. Carl Arnold announced that Keefe, a cancer survivor, has decided to step away from his involvement in gang activities.

Describing the 60-year-old's current state of health as positive both mentally and physically, Arnold shared that Keefe seems to be in high spirits.

Arnold also assumed responsibility for representing Keefe in court proceedings at the 8th Judicial District Court.

Addressing the gathered media following the hearing, the former ganster expressed difficulties in securing the necessary funds for his $750k bail.

Arnold expressed unwavering confidence and contends that the prosecution's case lacks the necessary strength to secure a conviction for his client.

Despite numerous interviews in which Keefe D admitted to his involvement as a key player in the notorious crime of 1996 killing of Tupac, Arnold stated, "The state has to provide evidence number one of a gun, number two of a car and most importantly that Mr. Davis was even in Las Vegas at the time."

"Right now I can be forthright and say we haven't seen any of that evidence."
