Arraignment Delayed Due to Attorney Issues

Charged with Murder and Gang Enhancement
Clark County D.A. Steve Wolfson confirmed in a press conference after the initial hearing that Keefe D is expected to plead not guilty to the charge of murder with the use of a deadly weapon in relation to the shooting of Tupac Shakur in 1996. In addition to the murder charge, Keefe D has also been hit with a gang enhancement, signaling the seriousness of the case.
Reopening the Case
The case involving Tupac Shakur’s murder was reopened 27 years after the crime due to Keefe D’s outspokenness in interviews, where he claimed involvement in the rapper’s killing. This renewed investigation aims to bring long-overdue justice in a case that has captivated the public’s attention for decades.
