Tupac Shakur murder trial opens for ex-gang leader charged over 1996 killing
Duane "Keffe D" Davis faces a murder charge over the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. Jury selection began in a Las Vegas court as the trial opened.
A former gang leader, Duane Keffe D Davis, stands trial for the 1996 murder of hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas, Nevada. Jury selection commenced on Monday (August 10), and the six-week trial will be held in a downtown courthouse. Davis, 63, is accused of orchestrating a drive-by shooting that killed Shakur, a prominent figure in rap music during the height of the East Coast-West Coast rap feud.
The case was reignited in 2018 when Davis made statements implicating himself. No details have been provided about who fired the fatal shots or the extent of Davis' involvement in the actual act.
