Attorneys for Duane “Keffe D” Davis, suspected of killing rap icon Tupac Shakur, are requesting a delay in the upcoming March trial. The defense claims new evidence, including witness testimonies, suggests Davis was not at the scene of the 1996 shooting and that someone else might have orchestrated it. The motion filed in a Nevada court also highlights Davis' previous immunity agreements with prosecutors and questions the reliability of his accounts detailed in his memoir.

They were waiting at a red light when a white Cadillac pulled up next to them and gunfire erupted.Long known to investigators as one of four suspects identified early in the investigation, he is the only one to be charged.
