Tupac Shakur murder verdict: Ex-gang leader Duane 'Keffe D' Davis found guilty nearly 30 years later
Duane “Keffe D” Davis, 63, was charged with murder in connection with the 1996 shooting that killed Shakur.
A Las Vegas jury has convicted former gang leader Duane "Keffe D" Davis of the 1996 murder of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur, nearly three decades after the incident. Davis, now 63, was charged with aiding in the 1996 shooting that claimed Shakur's life. Prosecutors alleged that Davis helped plan the attack after Shakur and his friends engaged in a confrontation with Davis' nephew at a Las Vegas casino on September 7, 1996.
After the confrontation, Davis and three others reportedly drove around Las Vegas in search of Shakur and Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight. The jury heard evidence, including Davis' own statements, a memoir, and recorded conversations, that suggested Davis was involved in the planning and execution of the murder.
While the identity of the gunman who fired the fatal shots remains unknown, Davis faces a 30-year sentence following his conviction.
