Tupac Shakur murder: A shooting, bizarre conspiracy theories and a case that remained unsolved for decades

Nearly three decades after the murder of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur, a jury in Las Vegas has convicted Duane "Keffe D" Davis of first-degree murder for his alleged role in the 1996 shooting. The prosecution's case hinged on Davis' own accounts of the incident, which he provided to law enforcement and later in interviews and his memoir.

Davis claimed to have been riding in the front passenger seat of the white Cadillac that pulled up alongside Shakur and Knight's car, and that he passed a gun to his nephew before the fatal shots were fired. While Davis did not claim to have pulled the trigger, prosecutors argued he organized the attack and supplied the weapon, making him criminally responsible under Nevada law.

Despite discrepancies in his testimony over the years, the jury found Davis guilty after less than three hours of deliberation. Davis could face life in prison if sentenced on October 13. This marks the first conviction in the high-profile case that had long frustrated investigators and fueled speculation about the killer's identity.
