Tupac murder suspect Duane "Keefe D" Davis listened intently as his attorney disputed claims of his presence in Las Vegas on the fateful night the legendary rapper was fatally shot.

Donning navy blue prison attire with shackles around his waist, the alleged ringleader now awaits a potential trial for his alleged role in orchestrating the rapper's tragic death.

Tupac Murder Suspect

A surprising revelation emerged when Keefe's attorney, Carl Arnold, boldly declared during a media interview that he cautioned individuals against trusting his client.

Arnold told CBS affiliate KLAS-TV that he has no doubt that that Keefe is "a liar."

He mentioned that Keefe initially assumed that he would receive immunity from legal consequences by providing details about the events surrounding Tupac's death in 1996.

In 2008, Keefe made shocking revelations about his involvement in the alleged murder of Tupac by his nephew Orlando Anderson in a drive-by shooting.

Recently, an audio recording of Keefe's confession during the interview was presented as evidence in court, causing Keefe to erupt in anger.

In light of the situation, Arnold insists that Keefe provided false information regarding his location that evening, pointing out the absence of DNA evidence to support Keefe's account. "Anybody can say 'Well, I gave this person the gun and he shot Tupac,'" the lawyer said. "I don't believe he was there."

Arnold suspects that Keefe's untruthfulness may ultimately result in his acquittal.

In light of recent developments, Nevada prosecutors intend to expedite the review and submission of documents as part of the ongoing legal proceedings.

At the recent court hearing, Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal informed Judge Carli Kierny that the prosecution had acquired all the required paperwork from multiple agencies.

In a separate development, Arnold disclosed that the prosecution gave him certain redacted documents during the preliminary case review. Judge Kierny has set up a follow-up session for July 23, with the trial slated to commence approximately on November 4.

In September 1996, Tupac Shakur fell victim to a tragic shooting incident as he was waiting at a red-light intersection in the vibrant city of Las Vegas, Nevada.

The artist sustained four gunshot wounds from a .40-caliber Glock pistol, ultimately succumbing to his injuries six days following the harrowing attack.
