Suge Knight Wants to Be Left Out of 2Pac’s Murder Trial: ‘I Don’t Get Paid to Solve Homicides’
Jury selection for Duane "Keffe D" Davis' trial in the rapper's killing kicked off in Las Vegas on Aug. 10.
Nearly three decades after the tragic death of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas, his murder trial commenced with jury selection on Monday, August 10. Duane "Keffe D" Davis is currently facing a murder charge, believed to be linked to the 1996 drive-by shooting that left 2Pac and Suge Knight injured. The rap mogul's close associate has adamantly refused to participate in the proceedings, stating, "I don’t get paid to solve homicides" and refusing any involvement, asserting, "If Keffe D’s lawyers bring me there, it don’t look good for him.
If the prosecution brings me there, it don’t look good for them. Leave me out of it." The 61-year-old added, "There's not a day that goes by that I personally, miss 2Pac." Knight emphasized that his participation would be worse than "shooting" a man in the head, as he would be indirectly responsible for sending another individual to prison for life.
According to prosecutors, Davis, who was not the shooter but orchestrated the 1996 attack, was injured in the incident but survived.
