In a jailhouse phone call, suspect Duane “Keffe D” Davis and his son discuss a “green light,” which prosecutors claim is an authorization to kill.
Prosecutors argued, “in [Davis’] world, a ‘green light’ is an authorization to kill.”
This “caused enough concern that the Federal Government stepped in and provided resources to at least [one witness] so he could change his residence,” they added.
The call raises concerns about potential threats to cooperating witnesses. Davis and his lawyers deny the allegations, stating that the conversation was about concerns for their own family’s safety.
Davis’ son son says “[I’ve}got some s— to tell.”
“About what?” Davis asks.
“A bunch of some s— that’s going on,” his son answers.
Davis’s son said it’s “Around the city.”
“They talking about [inaud] it’s a green light – talking about the, uh, our side,” his son explains.
“Our side? It’s a green light on our side?” asks Davis.
“Yeah, that’s what he told him, he said n—-, we was raised in war, we don’t give a f—,” his son clarifies.
“For wha – for this here?” asks Davis.
“B-Rue, yea … he’s saying that ‘it’s on,'” replied his son.

Davis remains in detention, with a trial date set for June 3, 2024. The judge set his bail at $750,000 due to concerns raised by the calls.
Prosecutors allege that Davis was involved in Tupac Shakur’s murder and was a feared gang member in the 1990s.
Davis’ own admissions have been crucial in the case against him, but his defense team questions the credibility of witnesses and media admissions.
Charles Cano and Robert Arroyo, chief deputy special public defenders for Clark County, said, “It is clear that in the phone call, our client Mr. Davis does not threaten any witnesses whatsoever.”
“Our interpretation of that phone call is that his son was warning him about a threat towards him and / or his family,” they continued.
Judge Kierny said, “I don’t believe that the FBI is stepping in and providing coverage or assistance for people in situations where they don’t think it’s a credible threat.”
“When we talk about the nature and the seriousness of danger to any victims or other people in this case, as the state has indicated, this could be very high,” she continued.
