LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Duane Davis, the man held in Clark County on charges for the 1996 killing of rap legend Tupac Shakur, now has enough money to make bail.

Davis, also known as "Keefe D," informed the court on Thursday that he can now pay the $750,000 it will take to get him out of jail as he awaits trial in the murder case.

He's now scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, June 25 at 9 a.m. In that hearing, Judge Carli Kierny is expected to set the conditions for his release. Prosecutors may also ask to verify where the money came from.

Davis, who has pleaded not guilty, has been jailed in the Clark County Detention Center since his arrest in September.

In multiple interviews over the past three decades, Davis admits to being one of four people in a white Cadillac from which the shots that killed Tupac were fired. He's said it was his nephew, Orlando Anderson, who shot Shakur. Anderson was killed in a shooting in 1998.

Davis' trial is scheduled to begin in November.
