Jury begins deliberations in Tupac Shakur murder trial
Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, a one-time leader of the South Side Compton Crips, is accused of ordering the 1996 killing of the hip-hop artist.
In a Las Vegas courtroom, a jury started deliberations on Monday in the trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis, a former Los Angeles gang leader who faces charges related to the 1996 murder of hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur. Davis, 63, is accused of orchestrating Shakur's killing after his nephew was attacked by Shakur's entourage at a Las Vegas casino.
Prosecutors claim Davis handed a gun to someone in the backseat of a white Cadillac and ordered them to shoot Shakur, who died six days later. Davis is the sole surviving occupant of the Cadillac that night. Shakur, who was in Las Vegas for a Mike Tyson fight, was shot following a confrontation with Davis's nephew. The case was reignited when Davis's memoirs were published in 2019, revealing his alleged confessions.
However, his defense attorney argues the statements are fabrications intended to promote a book. If convicted, Davis could face life in prison without parole.
