The trial of a former gang leader in the Los Angeles area accused of killing hip-hop music star Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas in 1996 has been pushed back several months, a judge said.

Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny acknowledged that Duane “Keffe D” Davis’s lawyer, Carl Arnold, was new to the case and that prosecutors are still providing evidentiary material to the defence.
