More than a decade of accounts by a former Los Angeles-area gang leader about orchestrating the killing of rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996 are strong evidence to deny his release to house arrest ahead of his trial in June, prosecutors in Las Vegas said Thursday.

Duane “Keffe D” Davis “confessed over and over again that he is responsible for the murder of Tupac Shakur,” prosecutor Marc DiGiacomo wrote in a court filing to a state court judge who on Tuesday will hear Mr. Davis’ request to be released on no more than $100,000 bail.
