2Pac’s murder case had its first major development in years when Keefe D was arrested for his involvement in the crime last week, but his legal representative failed to show up on the first day of court.
On Wednesday (October 4), the suspect (real name Duane Davis) was scheduled to appear in front of a judge for his first hearing. This would have given him a chance to respond to being charged with one count of murder with use of a deadly weapon in relation to the killing of Tupac Shakur in 1996.
The defendant’s lawyer, however, never showed up. As a result, Keefe D asked the judge for a two-week continuance, which means that......
