**Tupac Shakur Trial: Defense Lawyers Explore Alternative Cause of Death**
Defense attorneys for Duane “Keffe D” Davis, the man accused of murdering rap legend Tupac Shakur, are investigating evidence that may suggest an alternative cause of death. Davis is the sole surviving individual from the vehicle that fired shots in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, where Shakur sustained injuries that led to his death six days later.
Davis’s legal team claims to have witness accounts indicating that Shakur was in stable condition following the shooting. They are consulting with medical and forensic experts to assess potential alternative explanations for Shakur’s death. Additionally, the defense is seeking to postpone the upcoming trial, arguing that more time is required for thorough investigative work to ensure a fair trial for Davis.
A motion filed in a Nevada court reveals that a private investigator has located witnesses who can testify that Davis was neither present at the scene of the shooting nor in Las Vegas at the time. The motion also hints at the possibility that another individual may have orchestrated the shooting, with interviews of relevant witnesses currently underway.
The defense team stated that these new developments and the necessity to interview key witnesses warrant a delay in the trial proceedings. A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday to discuss the trial’s timeline. Attorney Carl Arnold emphasized the importance of thoroughly examining all critical facts, given the decades-old nature of the allegations.
On the night of the shooting, Shakur was a passenger in a BMW driven by Marion “Suge” Knight, the founder of Death Row Records, when a white Cadillac pulled up alongside them.
