Rapper Foxy Brown being courted as key witness in Tupac murder trial

Rapper Foxy Brown is one of the key witnesses that are being courted by the prosecution team that is alleging that controversial hip-hop figure, Duane “Keefe D” Davis was responsible for the 1996 murder of musician, Tupac Shakur.

According to The US Sun, prosecutors want Foxy to act as a witness in the case as they believe she can provide evidence that Keefe D was in Las Vegas the night of the rap legend’s murder, something he denies.

Keefe has claimed that there is no proof he was in Vegas on September 7, 1996, but according to the publication, the Clark County District Attorney’s office, Foxy, born Inga DeCarlo Fung Marchand, was in Las Vegas hanging out with Keefe’s friends on September 7, 1996, shortly before Tupac was hunted and gunned down by a Southside Crip gang.

Informants have reportedly told prosecutors that Keefe had an exchange with Foxy before the death of the rapper.

“There are secret and delicate conversations going on about Foxy being a witness at the trial,” an insider familiar with details of the case reportedly said.

“She could prove vital in taking the stand or even making a statement about her recollection of being around the men, who claim they were in her company for a short while before they set off to murder Tupac.

“Obviously, central to her involvement to the trial will be whether she has any recollection of Keefe. The prosecutors know that having independent and credible verification of Keefe being in Vegas would be a major benefit to their case.

“And it would destroy Keefe’s defense of ‘there’s no evidence I was even there,’ which has been presented by his lawyer in recent weeks.”

The insider continued, “There are many delicate factors for Foxy to consider. Being in this trial would bring a lot of eyes to her and not necessarily present her in the right light.

“Secondly, the characters she was socializing with back then had varied backgrounds and lifestyles. Another factor would be taking the stand means facing cross-examination, which could put her on record being asked about matters in her life which may be fresh or potentially shocking.

“Some people may forget that Foxy has a criminal past too, being convicted for assaulting two nail stylists in 2006.”

In his book Compton Street Legend, Davis admitted to meeting with Brown the night of ‘Pac’s murder, but now says that anything he said in that book was fabricated.

In the book, Davis wrote: “As I walked up to the driver’s side window, I noticed that the rapper, Foxy Brown, was in the car with [Eric Von] Zip. So he instructed her to step out of the car and motioned for me to jump in.

“Zip had a hidden compartment that he opened up, reached in, and pulled a black .40 Glock out. He turned to me and said, ‘It’s time to get the money.’”

He continued, “Zip handed me the 17-shot pistol, which I promptly put down the back waist of my pants. I hopped out of the car, held the door open for Foxy Brown to get back in, closed the door, and they pulled off.“ Daily Mast
