30 Years After Tupac Shakur Was Killed, a Murder Trial Begins
Tupac Shakur was gunned down in 1996. Nearly 30 years later, a man allegedly linked to his death faces trial.
Nearly three decades after the tragic 1996 drive-by shooting that claimed the life of rapper Tupac Shakur, a murder trial has begun in Las Vegas, Nevada. One of the four men involved in the shooting faces charges, yet the identity of the gunman remains unclear. Duane "Keffe D" Davis, a 63-year-old former leader of the South Side Compton Crips, is the first person to be charged in connection with Shakur's death.
Prosecutors allege that Davis orchestrated the attack, though he is not accused of firing the shots. Davis has been publicly vocal about his role in the incident, even publishing a memoir detailing his connection to the event. The trial has reignited interest in the unsolved murder, with the jury consisting of six men and ten women, including the co-founder of Death Row Records, Marion "Suge" Knight.
