A man accused of orchestrating Tupac Shakur’s 1996 killing is on trial. Here’s what to know
The trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis began, accused of orchestrating the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur, almost three decades after the incident. Davis, who was a leader of the South Side Compton Crips in California, pleaded not guilty to the murder charge. The trial, which could last a month, is examining Davis' alleged role in the shooting as well as his connection to the criminal gang at the time.
Shakur's family members were present at the Las Vegas courthouse for the commencement of jury selection. The case resurfaced after Davis made public statements and released a memoir in 2019. Prosecutors plan to demonstrate that Davis provided the gun and made decisions leading to Shakur's death, but not necessarily that he fired the fatal shots.
The trial is expected to bring forth multiple witnesses, including former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman and family members of Shakur.
