Jury finds Duane Davis guilty in murder of Tupac Shakur

Duane Davis has been found guilty of murdering Tupac Shakur, 30 years after the rapper's death. The jury deliberated for less than three hours before their verdict. Davis, 63, faces a possible life sentence for the murder which took place in a drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip on September 7, 1996. Prosecutors allege that Davis, a member of a Los Angeles street gang, was the "shot caller" and handed the murder weapon to the gunman.

However, they claim that Davis did not personally fire the gun, and that it was fired by either Orlando Baby Lane Anderson, his nephew, or another man in the backseat. The family of Tupac Shakur is elated and relieved by the verdict, expressing their gratitude to the jury for their diligent service. The prosecution presented circumstantial evidence and the defendant's own confessions to the police, media, and in his memoir as proof of guilt.

Davis' defense attorney argues that there is no real evidence supporting the confessions and questions why the case is still being pursued after 30 years.
