The trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis, 63, is set to begin on Monday, with the accused facing one charge of murder. Prosecutors allege that Davis orchestrated the killing of rap icon Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas in 1996. Davis and the victim were both in a black BMW on their way to Club 662 when a white Cadillac pulled up next to them and shots were fired.
Shakur, who also went by the names 2Pac and Makaveli, was shot multiple times and died six days later, while Davis' co-passenger, music mogul Marion "Suge" Knight, survived. The case had been unresolved for decades until recent statements and a memoir from Davis reignited interest in the investigation. Jury selection is underway, and the trial is expected to last approximately a month.
