Michael Sanft, the lawyer who represented Duane “Keffe D” Davis in his murder trial for the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, was found dead last week in Las Vegas. He was 55-years-old.
His death was confirmed by the Clark County Coroner’s Office on Friday, November 6, according to FOX5 Las Vegas. His body was found at his home, authorities said, but the cause of death has not yet been released. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department are reportedly “referring all inquiries about Sanft’s death to the coroner’s office.”
Sanft died less than a month after Davis, the only suspect in Tupac Shakur’s murder, was sentenced to 40 years to life.
