A lawyer speaking for the former street gang leader charged with killing rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996 has said he sees “obvious defences” in the murder case in Las Vegas.

“There’s no gun, there’s no car and there’s no witnesses from 27 years ago,” lawyer Ross Goodman told reporters after the briefest of court hearings, at which he told a Nevada judge he was close to being hired to represent Duane “Keffe D” Davis.
