LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The man accused of orchestrating the murder of Tupac Shakur faces a new charge following an incident inside jail, records said.

Duane “Keffe D” Davis, 61, was charged Sunday with battery by a prisoner for an incident inside the Clark County Detention Center on Friday.

affiliate KLAS is gathering information Sunday about what led up to the new charge. Davis has remained in custody since his arrest in September 2023.

He was due to appear in court Tuesday on the new charge. A judge set bail at $50,000 for the battery by prisoner charge, though Davis has a higher bail amount — $750,000 — for the murder charge.

Last week, the judge hearing the murder case declined to dismiss Davis’ charges, saying he had no immunity in Nevada.

Davis has publicly said he was sitting in the front passenger seat of the car, which pulled up side-by-side with Shakur’s, before the September 1996 shooting near the Las Vegas Strip. Marion “Suge” Knight, the then-head of Death Row Records, was driving the car with Shakur sitting in the passenger seat. Knight was injured in the shooting. Shakur died from his injuries several days later.

Davis’ trial was scheduled to begin in March. Kierny scheduled a Feb. 11 hearing to determine if that date would stick.
