Key Takeaway
Suge Knight, who was present during the shooting that took the lives of Tupac Shakur and himself, refuses to provide any incriminating information or testimony against the suspect, Duane “Keefe D” Davis, maintaining his loyalty and silence.
During a phone call from his current residence in a California state prison, Suge Knight expressed his unwavering support for Keefe D, stating that he would never speak ill of him. He emphasized that regardless of any confessions Davis may have made to the police or in interviews, he refuses to cooperate with the authorities or testify against him in court.
Suge Knight also made it clear that he will not be persuaded to take the stand during Davis’ murder trial.

It is worth noting that out of the six individuals involved in the shooting incident, Suge Knight and Keefe D are the only surviving parties.
The recent arrest of Keefe D in Las Vegas by the police, following a grand jury indictment, came as a surprise to Suge Knight. According to the authorities, Keefe D was allegedly involved in Tupac’s murder and provided the firearm used in the fatal shooting. The incident occurred shortly after Tupac’s crew engaged in a physical altercation with Orlando Anderson at the MGM Grand after a Mike Tyson fight.
Although Keefe D has been vocal for years about his alleged involvement in Tupac’s murder, giving interviews and even writing a book about it, Suge Knight strongly insinuates that he does not believe Keefe D should be behind bars. Despite his knowledge of the events, Suge Knight remains adamant in his stance and will not disclose the identity of the shooter.
While serving his 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter, Suge Knight refrains from confirming whether or not Keefe D was involved in the shooting. However, he emphasizes that he would never wish imprisonment upon anyone.
