Nearly three decades after Tupac Shakur was fatally shot on the Las Vegas Strip, prosecutors are preparing to rely on statements made by the man accused of orchestrating the killing — including accounts that later appeared in a memoir.
According to Fox News, Duane "Keffe D" Davis has repeatedly discussed his alleged connection to the shooting over the years.
His statements came during interviews with investigators, a television appearance and while he was working as a confidential informant, as well as in his memoir.
That book could become especially important at Trial because prosecutors have listed its ghostwriter, Yusef Jah, as a potential witness.
Retired LAPD detective Moses Castillo believes Jah could face direct questions about whether the book reflected conversations he had with Davis.
The defense has suggested that portions of the memoir were fictionalized and has maintained that Davis was not responsible for Shakur's killing.
"I suspect that the prosecution is going to have to call the writer of this book and ask him point-blank and directly: Did you write this based on what Davis told you?" Castillo told Fox News Digital.
