The trial for Tupac Shakur's 1996 murder faces potential delays as Duane 'Keffe D' Davis's legal team seeks postponement from the March 2025 start date, citing newly discovered witnesses.

The defense claims their private investigator found multiple witnesses who can testify that Davis wasn't in Las Vegas during Tupac's shooting. These testimonies could suggest alternative suspects in the decades-old case.

Davis' attorney Carl Arnold stated: "This case involves decades-old allegations, and with every new piece of evidence, it becomes increasingly clear that critical facts have yet to be fully examined."

Case Background:

• September 7, 1996: Tupac was shot while in a BMW driven by Suge Knight
• A white Cadillac pulled alongside, firing multiple shots
• Tupac died six days later at age 25
• Davis is the only person ever charged in the murder
• Prosecutors allege the shooting was retaliation for a fight between Tupac and Davis' nephew

Key Evidence Against Davis:

• His admissions in interviews and memoir "Compton Street Legend"
• Testimony from former associates
• History of gang-related conflicts

The defense team previously attempted to dismiss charges, citing an alleged immunity agreement with authorities. The prosecution denies such protection exists.

A hearing scheduled for Tuesday will determine whether the trial proceeds as planned or faces postponement based on the new witness testimonies.
