Tupac Shakur murder trial begins today: What to know about the 1996 case, suspect ‘Keffe D’
Davis is accused of leading a group of men to kill Shakur, 25, one of rap's most commercially successful and influential artists, in a 1996 shooting near the Las Vegas Strip.
Jury selection has commenced for the 1996 murder trial of Duane Davis, also known as "Keffe D." The 63-year-old is charged with the killing of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur. Davis maintains his innocence and has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors allege that Davis was the "shot caller" in the group responsible for Tupac's murder and the wounding of Death Row Records CEO Marion "Suge" Knight.
The trial, expected to last around a month, hinges heavily on Davis's own account of events, which has been consistent across various platforms. The prosecution argues that Davis is a credible witness, while defense attorneys aim to discredit him as a liar.
