Attorneys are expected to hold a press conference Tuesday for the man accused of organising the murder of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur.

Duane “Keffe D” Davis, 62, who awaits trial in connection with the 1996 fatal shooting near the Strip, recently sacked his lawyer. A news release promised “new and substantive announcements” at the press conference.

Carl Arnold had previously represented Davis; but last week, Davis hired Robert Draskovich and Michael Pandullo to handle his case instead. Davis’ murder trial is scheduled to begin in February 2026.

Draskovich defended former Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles during the trial last year in which Telles was found guilty of murdering Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German.

Prosecutors have said Davis’ own words in a book and other public statements on interviews and elsewhere drove a renewed effort to investigate Shakur’s killing.

“Mr. Davis chose upon himself to publicly confess to a crime multiple times,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo said previously.

Arnold defended Davis by saying his client was “a liar” whose own words could not be trusted.
