Over the yearshot646, Duane Keith Davis, who goes by Keffe D, has claimed in interviews and a memoir that he was in the white Cadillac when one of the other passengers shot and killed the rapper Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas in 1996.

When Mr. Davis was arrested and charged with Mr. Shakur’s murder in 2023, the Las Vegas police confirmed that Mr. Davis’s own words had reinvigorated their dormant investigation.

Moreover, the judge granted Mr. Smith’s request to have that presentation, which will be filed under seal and therefore not publicly accessible, run as long as 180 pages.

The rules are expected to be broadly similar to those for the presidential debate two weeks ago between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump.

But now Mr. Davis, who is awaiting trial in the case, told ABC News in an interview from jail that he was innocent of the murder, that he had not been in Las Vegas at the time of the shooting and that he had not written or even read his 2019 memoir, “Compton Street Legend,Peso63 login” which described the shooting and his role in it.

“They can’t even place me out here,” said Mr. Davis, who has pleaded not guilty. “They don’t have no gun, no car, no Keffe D, no nothing.”

Mr. Davis was charged in September 2023 with one count of murder with the use of a deadly weapon, plus a gang enhancement.

Before his arrest, Mr. Davis gave numerous recorded interviews about the shooting. He repeatedly said that he was in the front passenger seat of the white Cadillac that pulled up near the vehicle holding Mr. Shakur after a boxing match between Mike Tyson and Bruce Seldon. Mr. Shakur, one of the most prominent artists of the 1990s, was shot four times and died in a hospital days later.
