Judge denies release of ex-gang leader ahead of trial in Tupac Shakur killing

Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.

An ailing former gang leader from Los Angeles has been denied release from a Las Vegas jail ahead of his trial in the 1996 killing of music legend Tupac Shakur, despite a bid by a hip-hop music figure to underwrite his 750,000-dollar bail (£592,470).
