Video summary
The video centers on the high-profile murder trial of Keefe D (Keith Dewan Davis), a former leader of the Southside Crips accused of ordering Tupac Shakur's killing thirty years after the fact. The defense attorney, described as a Las Vegas lawyer working pro bono, faces an uphill battle because prosecutors have successfully used his own memoir and past interviews to establish his presence at the scene. Despite the attorney's opening argument attempting to discredit key witnesses like Detective Long by highlighting lost paperwork and procedural irregularities, the prosecution maintains that Keefe D admitted to being on-site in Las Vegas during the incident. The core of the legal challenge lies in the fact that Keefe D has publicly written about and discussed the event multiple times, making it difficult for his defense to claim he was unaware or innocent of the events he allegedly orchestrated.
A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the credibility issues surrounding the investigation and the specific details of the night Tupac died. The transcript highlights inconsistencies regarding a U-turn made in Las Vegas traffic, which the defense claims occurred without witnesses seeing it, and the role of Suge Knight, who is expected to testify. The narrative suggests that Suge Knight may have been "tricking" others during the drive-by shooting, adding another layer of complexity to the case. Furthermore, the video points out that despite Keefe D's involvement in the case for decades, his original reports mysteriously disappeared, and he was not informed about a prior interview with a task force until years later, raising questions about the integrity of the investigation between Compton and Metro police agencies.
The host expresses deep frustration with what they perceive as a ridiculous conspiracy involving West Coast figures, contrasting it with cases in other regions like Texas or Beverly Hills. They argue that while the defense attorney is trying to construct a narrative that the entire event was a hoax or a misunderstanding, the evidence of Keefe D's own admissions makes this nearly impossible to defend. The host notes that if convicted, Keefe D faces life in prison, and they believe the prosecution has a strong case built on his written words and recorded statements. Ultimately, the video concludes that the trial is a spectacle where the defense is struggling to make sense of a story that the accused himself helped create through his books and interviews, leaving the outcome uncertain but leaning heavily toward conviction based on existing evidence.

Yeah, we on Boss Talk TV. Shout out to
E.
>> There are no there are no facts to point
to KB.
Not one.
And you're going to hear about this over
and over and over again. No facts like
the microphone in your hand or the pad
of paper that you have that you are.
Detective Long takes over the case in
2002 and he has it from 2002 to 2017.
He was, interestingly enough, on the
gang unit and at the time of the
shooting he was in gangs and he had been
one of the first to arrive on scene.
He will testify and tell you that every
time he did something on this file, he
wrote a report
because that's important. That's what
you do as a police officer. And he
conducted follow-up interviews and he
made some travel to Compton. He will
tell you those things. That's his role
in all of this. But here's the thing.
Detective Long also encourage or
encountered some challenges in this
case. They had to hide the case file
with Metro because people were still
accessing the file in Metro and they
weren't authorized to do so. So they
changed the case number so that people
couldn't find the file. In addition to
that, what you're going to learn is LAPD
reached out to him, called him up and
said, "Hey, Detective Wong, we have the
gun
and we tested it and matches back to
what you're looking for in terms of the
weapon that killed Tupac Shakur."
Detective Wong goes to LAPD,
gets the gun, transports it back, gets
tested, and it comes out as not a match
gun to test you out. This is the level
of I don't know how to put it that was
going on during this time period between
Metro LAPD and Compton. Wow. This here
guys this here guy man. First of all,
shout out to Kei D who's sitting in
there looking like man please don't
don't make me go do the rest of my life
in prison. OG you there?
>> Right here. Right here.
>> OG. Um, this lawyer, I don't know if
he's if he's the guy for the job or not,
but he opens up firing off at Detective
Long. Why is it so important to make
Detective Long not credible?
That well, that's that's not that wasn't
even the real point of his opening
argument. That was just a part. He made
some key statements. the the prosecution
open up with the argument of Kefi D
being on the scene and that KeD was in
said position and that KPD had bought
said tickets and was trying to give the
excuse why KPD wasn't there with Orlando
Anderson at the time of the uh incident
and that KPD uh had the the rental car,
the white Cadillac back and that Keith D
met Zip and the prosecution tried to put
all that establishment together which
was vague and ambiguous because Michael
Stant came up and said in his in his
opening if all of this was true at no
time the same thing I've been saying
since this happened there's no picture
there's no evidence there's no receipt
of KPD being in Las Vegas at that time.
And when all the evidence come up, all
of the pictures that they have, all the
surveillance cameras, they have no
picture of KPD of that incident at all
or the white Cadillac in Las Vegas at
that time.
the relevance that he brought up about
discrediting the officer because when
this all went down months later, Compton
police came in and tried to camouflage
with other evidence that they had
manufactured
and Compton police were so invested into
the case that it wasn't credible and
that the officer that
on the case. All of this time he never
had any of his uh reports that he was
supposed to keep. And then he retired
and it's three different officers that
were involved in this case. Three
different homicide officers in the
30-year period. But this officer, none
of his paperwork is anywhere nobody
could find. It just was lost.
Mysteriously lost. Compton PD came back
to Las Vegas after Orlando was was
killed and brought a gun and said it was
a gun. They found out that they kicked
it back. They didn't make Compton
credible at all. So he made a very
strong argument in drawing a picture of
a conspiracy. He offered the name of the
head of security. He offered the name of
why the head of security was the head of
security and what the aspects were for
him that it could be another player in
this. So he gave a he gave a way better
argument than uh Carmelo Anony's uh
attorney did.
>> Well, first of all, don't this ain't got
nothing to do with that. And and and
second of all, uh this guy right here is
trying to figure out a way to to try to
make this make sense for his long life
career. Michael, uh as we know, Ke ain't
got no money to be paying no damn
lawyer. So, he's doing this pro bono and
he's trying to get his recognition
through this Tupac case through doing
this for Ke. So, at the end of the day,
I get it. But I'm going to be watching
him to see if he how what type of
pressure he applies. When he was dealing
with Ingred yesterday, he asked her to
write down on a map uh what he thought
happened out there. And in my mind, I'm
saying what where is he going with this?
What is he trying to establish with
this? Everything that he does at this
point, his career being a attorney and
being on a case with this high of a
profile basically is going to determine
if people even think he's relevant or
deal or the type of attorney somebody
even want to deal with. OG, so all that
you said was fine, but I think he did
this pro bono. I I think he's just
trying to get a name. I think he's
trying to get a name for himself
throughout of this Kei D trial. I really
do. It's in the public eye. Now you go
ahead and say what you got to say.
>> He's a Las Vegas attorney. He got a
name. So he's not he's not like Michael
Hardwick that represented uh um Carmelo
Anthony and just dumped him out. The man
has an amazing
man. I don't want to hear that. You
doing that cuz he from the West Coast
man. I don't you you you playing the
games man.
>> He discussed the Uturn. How could he
have made the Uturn and the traffic?
Have you ever been? And them people are
from Vegas. You know what fight night
was in Vegas at that time. You lived
here. You know what Flamingo Boulevard
is like. You know what Las Vegas
Boulevard is like. You know, so for
somebody that's not a native of our city
to just amazingly make a Uturn
and break into traffic and nobody sees
it.
>> Hold on. Hold on. Let me play the rest
of this. Let me see if I can make sense
of this. Hold on.
>> This is what's happening during this
time period. Beans according to tech
long became very scarce in scale meaning
that it was just taking long time for
him to follow the people. Witnesses
became unavailable. Why do you think
that is? Because of time. So as a
result, memories started failing because
of that time.
So, Detective Long had these challenges.
But here's what Detective Long does. He
interviews Ki in 2009,
sits him down, has an interview with
Kiki, just like the state said, and
guess what happens? Detective doesn't
even know that Kiki had actually spoken
to a task force the year before. How is
that possible? Metro is the agency
responsible for the investigation of
Tupac Shakur's murder and they don't
even know about this. No one in that
room in 2008 told Detective Blom or
Metro what was going on. Let me stop it
right there. You know, this guy saying
he did when he did the interview with
Keith in 2009, he didn't know about a
previous uh uh interview where they, you
know, pretty much talked with Kefi D.
He's walking around with that tattoo on
his right hand. I don't know what that
represents. It doesn't look
professional. I don't know what jury
trial jury is going to think about that.
The jury is looking at him prance around
this damn uh uh uh courtroom with long
hair hanging down his back like he got
dang me uh louny back when he was with
the Commodores. You know, it's just a
lot dealing with it. It's it's it's
turned into a clown show and we just
getting started. I'm gonna say that. OG,
>> you know, I'mma just say this. You're a
country boy and you're a California
hater. So, anything on the West Coast,
you're gonna find something. But with
your uh you're you're with your
uneducated.
Um we're we're not going to even hold
that against you. We know you know you
out of the stitch. You a puck boy
that you just don't know that's
happening in the world today.
>> Oh, too. That's if that's all you
looking for.
>> I'm looking at the way his demeanor
tattoo hair hanging down his back like
he Lionel Richie little cousin, you
know. Or what's that other boy? The one
that used to play the the the the the uh
he used to play that damn um what's the
the Kenny G, you know? He he he he's
he's he looks like he's he's not I don't
think I don't I know Keith D ain't paid
for this guy. He don't look like a guy
you would go and just pick. Well, WHY
ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT THESE are some
things
>> a pro bono thing that we got going on
here that worry about who paid who paid
for Carmelo Anthony to get done? They
paid over $200,000
for that white man in
>> Why do we got to make Why you keep
bringing this ain't about Carmelo
Anthony this No, it's about Texas and
how white man will dump you right out
and y'all allow it to happen. So, we're
talking about a trial. You looking at 30
years and y'all got a man in trial from
your city. From Compton
just
>> from Compton
>> and and and y'all ain't did nothing to
even try to say, "Hey, man, he from he
this 30 years ago. Y'all didn't rally
together. Y'all didn't come together for
this guy. Kephy D been sitting in jail.
I seen a couple of people try to get him
out just to get an interview. Nobody
said Key D to do this but you." And you
said it's somewhere sitting looking at
at water and and and sitting in your
lush house and sitting back looking at
palm trees from your damn living room.
>> We don't have no damn palm trees.
>> Well, I'm just saying you you guys you
got you
>> run your mouth too much. You need to
calm the hell down and ride with this
cuz this is above your pay raise.
>> Okay, let let me read this for since
it's above my pay grade. I got something
to say to you and I want you to hear me
real good. And this article comes out
and I just want to say this because it
makes sense when I read it and I think
this guy's from the west coast as well.
And he says uh and this is August is uh
Machinsky Singupta says prosecutors
turned KD's words against him on the
Tupac murder case nearly three decades
after Tupac was killed in 1996 by a
driveby shooting. Dewan Kephi D. Davis
has been charged with the rapper's
murder. Prosecutors alleged that the
former leader of the Southside Crips
were the on-site commander who ordered
Shakur's killing. Prosecutors site the
one Kefi D. Davis memoir and past
statements in the Tupac murder trial.
Shakur was leaving the MGM after
attending a highly anticipated Mike
Tyson version. We know this. But the one
thing I want to get you to understand,
they're using his own words against him
in what he said he done. That's what
makes this difficult, bro. So all that
trying to make this lawyer like he had a
good opening statement don't mount to a
hill of beans when you sitting here
dealing with a guy who actually says he
was there, who wrote it in me memoir,
who wrote it in books, and then he also
went and and did numerous of goddamn
interviews about it. And you gonna sit
here and act like this guy's uh attorney
is about to do nothing. He ain't about
to do a damn thing if he don't figure
out some way to make this whole thing
seem like it was just a a damn uh like
it was just a a hoax or something. Don't
Don't play me like he No, he got a
uphill battle. And that damn little old
uh uh uh I don't know what you want to
call it. Opening statement wasn't
enough. Man,
>> really hurt. Your feelings are really
hurt that you ain't from the west. I'm
saying it his opening statement wasn't
that.
>> It wasn't that.
>> I'm hear the frustration in your voice,
sir. We could we can do something about
this.
>> It wasn't that. That's all I'm telling
you. This guy from Vegas. What?
>> I'm just saying you're you're you're
really butt hurt about this, right?
>> I just think he could have did a better
job with the opening statement.
>> How you think it the last time you
thought it was a earthquake? We
>> This what you need to be worried about.
During the opening argument, prosecutor
portrayed KVD as an alleged leader of
the group responsible for shooting for
the shooting. They also cited in 2019
memoir Compton Street Legend, which he
co-founded District Court Judge Carly
Kernney ruled that prosecutors may
introduce experts from the memoir of
evidence during the trial. That's what
he need to be worried about. Clark
Countyy's chief deputy district attorney
Banu Porel played ex experts from a 2008
interview in which watch this accuser
described pulling alongside Shakur. The
accuser described this Shakur and and
former Death Row Records co-founder Suge
Knight's BMW. He allegedly said he had
no clear shot and later gave the weapon
to DeAndre Dre Smith. said if if he
would have been on the side, I would
have blasted him my goddamn self is what
Kephi D said. How the hell you get
around that, OG? All that I don't care
what you say. That's going to be hard to
defend.
>> That's what I thought. Crickets.
>> Yap yap yap yap yap. We we don't even
have to uh we don't have to worry about
anything you're talking about sir
because that hill of beans that you were
talking about earlier we don't give a
hill of beans about what you're talking
about way in the sovereign y'all try to
get your marijuana law
>> no what is this what is you taking shots
at that for let me read a little bit
according to pal
Smith al hesitated prompted Orlando baby
lane Allison to take the gun and fire.
Anderson denied involvement in Shakur's
death and was killed in Compton in 1998.
KVD has pleaded not guilty to the charge
during the defense opening statement.
His attorney called the prosecution
narrative fiction. If convicted, he
faces a life in prison. The trial is
expected to last a month, potentially
putting the verdict around the
anniversary of Shuor's death. So, we'll
see in September, the 1 of September,
all this stuff you're talking about.
We'll see. You're gonna see. I don't
have to guess. I don't have to think.
You're going to see OG. Michael Shauff,
whatever his name is. What is Shaftniff?
I don't crazy name. Keith Dewan Davis.
All of y'all going to see OG if this
what y'all trying to put. This man said
it out his own damn mouth that he did in
Las Vegas. wrote it down in a book and
you telling me he going to walk away cuz
this lawyer got this lawyer don't know
nothing. He ain't ready yet. He better
get his stuff together because that
prosecution got a whole bunch of stuff
over there that he can talk about and he
just getting started. OG just getting
started. Now, do I wish Keith D would go
to jail? I don't wish it. But Suge
Knight ain't even took the stand yet.
>> Yes, you do.
>> No, I don't. I'm a big Hey, I'm a big
fan of of people not going to jail. I
don't like that. But when you write a
damn book and when you say you was there
and you get on interviews, then you did
this to yourself. And only somebody from
Compton
have I ever seen do something like this.
That's what I
>> only You didn't You didn't see none of
that at the Pink House.
>> Wait a minute. This No. No. No. Nobody
ain't coming out of the pink house
saying nothing about what they done that
night. This is a Compton Kei D uh uh uh
episodic event.
Ain't nobody but Kefi D did something
like this. And then you got a host of
now you got Suge Marian Knight about to
come testify. Then I I'm hearing all
kind of people going to be in this room.
This woman that was there, she even told
Ingred told yesterday Lauren was the one
that he uh Suge was tricking.
>> Suge was tricking. That's how this whole
thing popped off. If Suge had went on
drove through when that light changed
and focus on what he were doing, Suge
was tricking
Lauren and angry and them wasn't coming
to 662. They didn't even like him like
that. They turned right when the fire
shut the gunshots fired off. They was
ready to turn in that turn lane any damn
way. So Suge tricking and now defending
it is beyond me. I don't know how we
Suge was the one got P killed because he
was tricking.
>> That's your story. you going to stick to
it.
>> He was tricking. He stopped. Hey, what's
up, girls? Let's go. The woman said
yesterday Pac wasn't even into that. Pac
just sitting back chilling, man. He
wasn't even tripping on him, my old man.
And I know he wasn't.
And got my boy Pac off. June 16th, 1971,
mama gave birth to a hell raising
heavenly son. Damn. Got him up out of
here, OG.
But only only some company. I you know
when we hanging with Now one thing I
gota say we when we not from a place.
>> You hear me? When we're not from a place
you looking everything up. You better
look cuz you going to need it. But when
you're not from a place and you go to a
place I heard one guy say that when you
know a a person who pretty much a
stranger is the easiest target. A
stranger, somebody in a land that they
don't know. They had that boy up there
in Vegas. He didn't know where he was
at. He didn't know.
>> He knew exactly where he was at. He'd
been there before.
>> Not many times. Is a guy who own a club
down there called 662.
>> That was not that was not his first time
in Vegas. He had been there to he knew
Vegas very well.
>> They supposed to looked out for Pac. And
you and I both know that.
>> Okay.
>> They should have looked out for Pac.
>> Somebody Somebody got to live to tell
the story.
>> Oh,
they had no right. They should have
looked out for Pac and you and I both
know that they should have looked out
and took care of Pac if he in a car
riding with you. How does this happen 30
years ago and we just now got a guy from
Compton on the stand trying to tell a
story? It almost remind me. Listen, let
me tell you something, man. OG, this is
the most ridiculous case.
>> This is the most ridiculous case that
I've heard in years.
There's nothing more ridiculous than
what we're looking at here today.
Nothing. But I guess what? I'm a big
fan. I'm I come on the West Coast and
show love. I respect everything y'all
got going out there. But y'all got to
admit this is the silliest case ever.
>> Wait, excuse me. Let's clarify this. You
come to Beverly Hills and show love.
>> Oh, gee, that's not true.
>> Never been past the S.
>> Oh, G. You you you know damn well you
took me over my uncle house. Stop
playing. I I I went and visited my
uncle.
RIP.
And when we hit Vermont, you had your
eyes closed all THE WAY THERE.
>> OH, WHATEVER. G, you know already. My
uncle stayed over there since the 60s,
man. 70s for sure.
>> What that got to do with you?
>> I used to come up there as a kid, man.
>> What what
is man is THE SAME OVER HERE?
>> I AIN'T SAYING NONE OF THIS
>> I got you on tape, bro.
>> Oo, you need to stop. You know what? You
you that's defamation. You need to stop
that. That's defamation. OG. And I'm
telling you right now, I never heard of
a case so ridiculous till I came to this
Tupac 30 years ago case. It's blowing my
mind what's going on in this courtroom.
And we just getting started. Ingred used
to be she done gained 30 pounds.
Lauren, we don't know where she at. She
hadn't took the stand yet. The one who
was driving the car. this uh so-called
attorney from the West Coast, tattoos

days mixed with a Kenny G uh her uh/
Lana Richie. This is just it's a lot OG.
