NEW evidence has been uncovered in the high-profile murder trial of Duane "Keefe D" Davis that allegedly places him in Las Vegas on the night rap icon Tupac Shakur was murdered.

The self-proclaimed Compton Crip ganglord, 60, has been in custody since September on $750,000 bail.

A Las Vegas judge denied Davis' release in June after the jailed gangster was able to secure the $750,000 bond to be freed while he awaits trial.

Now, prosecutors said they've uncovered decades-old evidence that places Davis in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, the night Tupac was killed in a drive-by shooting.

Investigators said a room at the then-Monte Carlo Resort, now Park MGM, was booked under Davis' wife's name, Paula Clemons, according to court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun.

Officials also learned that a room at the Excalibur Hotel & Casino was reserved under Davis' nephew's name, Orlando Anderson, the suspected triggerman who fired the fatal shots at Tupac.

Las Vegas Metro Police detectives were combing through hotel records for reservations booked under the names of known gang members, court documents read.

However, Clemons' reservations did not raise eyebrows until now since she was not a known Southside Crip, according to court docs.

Davis' lawyers previously argued in their motion to dismiss the charges that there was no evidence that placed him in Las Vegas on the night of the murder.

A legal insider in Las Vegas disclosed to The U.S. Sun on Wednesday that prosecutors were scouring through any paperwork or surveillance footage from the Monte Carlo Hotel.

The source said investigators knew Davis had stayed at the resort many times in the past.

"They are liaising with staff to search through guest booking records to establish whether there is evidence that Keefe or any of his Crip associated were booked in," the insider said.

The source said prosecutors have reexamined the original homicide files with a fresh set of eyes and have interviewed every person named in the files.

"Those probes have led to some fresh leads and opportunities to speak with potential new witnesses, who have never come forward to police," the insider added.

"Conversations are ongoing with several people who have connections to Keefe and his gang. What emerges from that remains secret at the moment."
