Michael Sanft, the lawyer who defended Tupac Shakur's convicted killer Duane "Keffe D" Davis, was found dead in Las Vegas just days after filing an appeal in the high-profile murder case.
The body of Sanft, 55, was discovered inside his home on Friday morning, his friend Michael Sloan told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Discovery and Background
The discovery marks a sudden development in a case that has drawn widespread attention since Davis's conviction. Sanft had recently filed an appeal on behalf of his client, according to reports.
The circumstances surrounding his death have not been disclosed, and authorities have yet to release further details.
Case Context
Davis was convicted in connection with the 1996 killing of rap icon Tupac Shakur, a case that remained unresolved for decades before his trial. Sanft's legal representation had been central to the defense efforts.
The appeal filed days before Sanft's death is now left in limbo, with no immediate information on how the case will proceed.
