Tupac Shakur murder suspect Keefe D fears for his life as trial delayed to 2025

"I don't know if I'm going to make it in here," Keefe D voices grave concerns over his safety behind bars.

Terrified gangster Duane "Keefe D" Davis, facing trial for the murder of rap legend Tupac Shakur, fears he may not survive long enough to clear his name in court. 

As his high-profile trial is pushed to March 2025, Keefe D, 61, has told friends he is increasingly paranoid about his safety while in protective custody at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas. "I don't know if I'm going to make it in here," he confided.

Keefe's son, Duane Davis Jr., echoed these concerns, stating, "My dad would be safer out of there, man." 

He also criticized the decision to deny his father bond, saying, "That ain't right. They violate people's rights here." 

This decision followed a contentious hearing where Judge Carli Kierny refused to grant Keefe D bond due to concerns over the legitimacy of the funds offered for his release.

During the same hearing, Keefe D made shocking claims, accusing unnamed correction officers of assaulting him in his cell on August 9. 

He alleged that prosecutors had organized the attack, which left him bruised and $300 worth of food stolen. 

The District Attorney's Office denied these accusations, with attorney Binu Palal stating he would "not dignify the claims with a response."

Keefe D's fears are compounded by his health issues, as he battles cancer and is on heavy-duty blood thinners, making him vulnerable to potentially fatal complications from any injuries. 

A family associate revealed that the year-long court process has taken a toll on Keefe D, leading to his explosive outburst in court. 

"He made the claims about being attacked in jail to the judge because he felt that he had to get his story out to the world," the associate said.

Despite his fears, some close to Keefe D believe his situation is a result of his own actions. "Keefe fails to see that his situation is all brought upon himself and his big mouth," the family associate remarked. 

Nevertheless, Keefe D remains concerned that he may not live to see his day in court, as the trial's delay means he will spend another Christmas behind bars.
