Keefe D Denied Release Over Bail Money Legitimacy Ahead of Tupac Murder Trial

A Nevada judge denied the suspect's release because he failed to prove that the $112,500 bond "was obtained through legal sources.”

Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the man charged in connection with Tupac Shakur‘s 1996 murder, was denied bail by a Clark County judge, who cited that he failed to prove his funds were obtained through legal sources, according to KTNV.

The Las Vegas ABC affiliate reported that Keefe notified the Clark County District Court last Thursday ( June 20) that he would be able to post his $750,000 bail. So he faced Judge Carli Kierny on Tuesday (June 25) to hear the conditions for his release to house arrest and verify where the funds had come from. On Wednesday (June 26), the suspect’s bond was denied due to concerns over the legitimacy of the funds posted by entertainment manager Cash “Wack 100” Jones.

Wack 100 appeared in court through a video link and said he paid the $112,500 down payment as “a gift” from his business accounts. He claimed no contract or financial agreement with Keefe D in exchange for bonding him out.

“The court cannot say that Mr. Davis has shown the funds were legally obtained,” the judge wrote in her order, according to KTNV.
