In other news regarding never-before-seen things relating to 2Pac, the murder trial surrounding his death is said to be using brand-new evidence. Local news outlets in Vegas reported earlier this month that never-before-seen photos and videos of the 1996 crime scene will be presented when Duane "Keefe D" Davis goes to trial. The evidence was first presented to the grand jury that indicted Keefe last month.

Keefe D, the uncle of 2Pac's alleged killer Orlando Anderson, was arrested late last month in connection with the murder. Keefe D has been open for many years about his involvement in the murder. He has claimed that it was a revenge killing after Pac and others jumped Anderson earlier in the night. Furthermore, Keefe claims to not only have witnessed the killing, but being as involved as to have handed Anderson the gun that killed Pac. Keefe was arraigned on October 4 but no date has been set for his trial at the time of writing.
