A Las Vegas judge has set a $750,000 bail for Duane “Keffe D” Davis, a former gang leader accused of ordering late hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder.

Davis can be under house arrest until his June trial with electronic monitoring as long as he can post bail, the judge decided Tuesday, the Associated Press reported. 

Davis faces a bail request of no more than $100,000, per his state-appointed attorneys Robert Arroyo and Charles Cano, who said the 60-year-old’s declining health and recent bout with cancer pose a lack of flight risk. 

However, prosecutors argued Davis is a threat, pointing to a recorded jail call mentioning a “green light” as an alleged permission to kill. They also indicated that police investigations and a 2019 tell-all memoir were enough evidence to convict him of the alleged crime. 

Davis’s legal team disputes this interpretation, highlighting no explicit threats and questioning the delayed arrest if he posed a danger. 

“Duane’s son was saying he heard there was a greenlight on Duane’s family,” Davis’s attorneys wrote. “Duane obviously did not know what his son was talking about.”

His attorneys claim prosecutors misrepresented facts and information to the judge, painting Davis as a threat to the community.  

“If Duane is so dangerous, and the evidence so overwhelming,” Davis’s lawyers wrote, “why did [police and prosecutors] wait 15 years to arrest Duane for the murder of Tupac Shakur?” 

Since his September arrest, the Compton, California, native was indicted by a grand jury and has been held without bail in the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas.

Davis maintains his innocence, citing past claims of immunity and pleading not guilty at his arraignment last year. 

Davis’s attorneys told the Associated Press they believe he will be able to post bail.
