A judge on Tuesday again rejected the request for release of an ailing former gang leader from the Los Angeles area. The defendant is responsible for the murder of hip-hop star Tupac Shakur in 1996. The judge suspects a cover-up in connection with the origin of the funds for his bail.

The decision by Clark District Court Judge Carli Kierny came after an attorney for Duane “Keffe D” Davis said he would submit additional financial documents to prove that Davis and the record label that offered to cover his $750,000 bail did not plan to profit from the sale of Davis' life story and that the money was obtained legally.

“I feel like there's an attempt to cover things up,” Kierny said, adding that she has more questions than answers after receiving two identical letters that appeared to be from the entertainment company to which record executive Cash “Wack 100” Jones said he wired the funds.

Kierny said one of the letters was signed with a name that had no connection to the company.
