The Latest: Jury will hear closing arguments in Tupac Shakur murder trial

Closing statements are set to be heard in the trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis, accused of masterminding the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur. The nine-day trial has seen testimony from law enforcement officers, gang associates, and filmmakers who examined the night Shakur was shot outside a Las Vegas club. Davis is the first individual ever charged in connection with the rapper's death, despite initially claiming he was in the vehicle when the gunfire erupted.

Prosecutors allege Davis orchestrated the killing, while his attorney maintains there is insufficient evidence linking him to the crime. Family members, including Shakur's siblings, have attended the proceedings, hoping for justice for their fallen loved one. The case has long captivated the hip-hop community, as no one faced charges until Davis was indicted in 2023. The other three men present in the Cadillac at the time of the shooting have since passed away.
