Nearly three decades after the tragic shooting of Tupac Shakur at the Las Vegas Strip, a jury of 12 people and four alternates has been chosen to decide if Duane "Keffe D" Davis is responsible for the rap icon's murder. The jury, made up mainly of women, was chosen from 100 residents summoned from their daily lives to Las Vegas.
The case has captivated hip-hop fans for decades, spawning various theories, documentaries, and books. Davis, 63, is the first and only person to face charges, although the trial may extend over four to five weeks. Davis' book, "Compton Street Legend," and his earlier police interviews are considered evidence, though the judge claims the book was fiction.
Jury selection included intense questioning about gangs, guns, rap music, and the nature of memory, with a goal of finding jurors unburdened by preconceived notions. Fans and relatives of Tupac were present, demonstrating the enduring legacy of the slain rapper.
