Bail for suspect charged with Tupac Shakur killing set at $750,000


Judge says former Los Angeles-area gang leader can serve house arrest with electronic monitoring ahead of June trial

A judge set bail on Tuesday at $750,000 for a former Los Angeles-area gang leader charged with orchestrating the killing of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur in 1996 and said he can serve house arrest with electronic monitoring ahead of his trial in June. The “green light” reference is from a recording of an October jail call that prosecutors Marc DiGiacomo and Binu Palal provided last month to Clark county district judge Carli Kierny, who presided over the bail hearing. Davis’s attorneys responded on Monday with a reference to the publication 12 years ago of a book written by a former Los Angeles police detective, Greg Kading, who attended those interviews.
