Ex-gang boss guilty of orchestrating 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur
Duane "Keffe D" Davis was convicted over the drive-by shooting of the rap superstar 30 years ago.
Duane "Keffe D" Davis, a former leader of the South Side Compton Crips street gang, has been found guilty of orchestrating the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas. The 63-year-old stood impassively as the verdict was read, stating he would appeal the decision. Prosecutors argued that Davis, who did not fire the gun himself, ordered the shooting and supplied the weapon used by his nephew Orlando Anderson.
The case, one of America's most famous cold cases, had intrigued hip-hop fans for nearly 30 years before a conviction was finally reached. Shakur, a prominent figure in the rap scene, was slain at the height of his career, and his death left a significant impact on the music industry.
