LAS VEGAS (AP) — The former street gang leader charged with leading the drive-by killing of Tupac Shakur in 1996 in Las Vegas is expected to plead not guilty to murder. But questions remain whether he’ll hire a defense lawyer or a judge appoints one at taxpayer expense. Duane “Keffe D” Davis is due for arraignment after local defense attorney Ross Goodman said Wednesday he won’t handle the case. He was arrested outside a suburban Las Vegas home that police raided months earlier — drawing new attention to Shakur’s unsolved killing. Prosecutors say Davis implicated himself in interviews and a 2019 tell-all memoir about his gang life in Southern California.
