Keefe D’s 2019 book detailing his alleged involvement in Tupac Shakur's murder is set to play a key role in the upcoming trial.

On Tuesday (Aug. 11), a new report from News Nation confirmed prosecutors are expected to rely heavily on Compton Street Legend. The memoir finds Keefe discussing the events surrounding the 1996 shooting, including his claim that Pac reached for a weapon before gunfire erupted from the car he was riding in. Cops have said no weapon was found in the vehicle Tupac and Suge Knight were in.

Keefe D’s defense previously argued that the book should be excluded from the trial, claiming it was fictionalized for profit and questioning which portions were actually written by him because it was co-authored. He's even gone so far as to say he has no idea what's in the book because he's never read it and the co-author just took his story and ran with it.
