AP News in Brief at 12:04 a.m. EDT

A jury has convicted Duane "Keffe D" Davis for orchestrating the 1996 murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur. Davis, 63, was found guilty of a single count of murder with a deadly weapon and could face life in prison. The 63-year-old was convicted after a weeklong trial in Las Vegas, where the jury deliberated for less than three hours.

Shakur's sister, Sekyiwa "Set" Shakur, wept and embraced the prosecutors upon hearing the verdict. Davis' son also covered his face in response to the sentence. The case had been a lingering issue in the public imagination for decades.
