Duane"Keffe D" Davis, 60, who police said was long suspected in the murder and began implicating himself in a series of public statements in recent years, responded"not guilty" when asked by Clark County district judge Tierra Jones if he wanted to enter a plea.

Davis was charged with one count of murder with a deadly weapon for his alleged role in leading a group of men to kill Shakur in a drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas strip. Authorities said Davis orchestrated a plot to avenge the beating of his nephew, Orlando Anderson, inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena by Shakur and members of his entourage on the night of Sep 7, 1996, just hours before the shooting.

When Davis and the others caught up to Shakur's vehicle, shots were fired from the Cadillac into the passenger side of the BMW. Shakur, struck four times, died in hospital six days later at the age of 25.
