Tupac Shakur murder trial: Duane 'Keffe D' Davis guilty

The jury reached a verdict in less than three hours in a case that had been unsolved for nearly 30 years.

On Monday, a Las Vegas jury convicted Duane Keffe D Davis of orchestrating the killing of hip hop artist Tupac Shakur, after nine days of testimony. Shakur was shot during a drive-by in September 1996 and died six days later at the age of 25. The case had remained unsolved for nearly three decades until Davis went public with his account, providing crucial evidence.

Davis, 63, was found guilty of murder with the use of a deadly weapon and faces a potential life sentence. He is the sole individual charged in connection with Shakur's murder. Prosecutors argued that Davis deliberately positioned himself inside the white Cadillac from which the shots were fired. Davis' defense team plans to appeal the verdict.
