The man accused of orchestrating the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur is asking a Nevada judge to be released from jail ahead of his pending trial.
Lawyers for Duane “Keffe D” Davis filed a motion requesting that he be released on his own recognizance before his June trial or be placed on reasonable bail. The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday morning.
Court-appointed attorneys for Davis, 60, say their client is in poor health, poses no danger to the community and will not flee to avoid prosecution. They want her bail set at no more than $100,000, according to the Associated Press.
The Clark County Public Defender’s Office could not be reached for comment early Tuesday.
Davis was arrested in late September in connection with Tupac’s murder, two months after Las Vegas police served a search warrant at his home in Henderson, Nevada. He pleaded not guilty to a murder charge and has since been jailed without bail.
