A Las Vegas jury has convicted 63-year-old Duane "Keffe D" Davis of orchestrating the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur. The jury reached their decision after hearing closing arguments from both the prosecution and defense. Prosecutors painted Davis as a gang leader and "shot caller" who ordered Shakur's murder, while his defense attorney argued that the memoir Davis released in 2019 was a work of fiction and that the state could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Davis was involved in the first-degree murder.
Shakur was shot and killed on September 7, 1996, after a confrontation with Davis' nephew in the MGM Grand Hotel lobby following a Mike Tyson boxing match. Davis' involvement in the shooting has been a topic of debate for over two decades, but prosecutors finally obtained a grand jury indictment in 2023, charging him with murder with a deadly weapon.
