Ex-gang leader makes his bid in Las Vegas court for house arrest before trial in Tupac Shakur case

LAS VEGAS: A former Los Angeles-area gang leader charged with killing hip-hop music icon Tupac Shakur in 1996 in Las Vegas plans to ask a judge on Tuesday to release him to house arrest ahead of the trial in June.

Court-appointed lawyers for Duane 'Keffe D' Davis say their 60-year-old client is in poor health, poses no danger to the community and won't flee to avoid trial. They want the judge to set his bail at not more than $100,000.
