Who really shot Tupac Shakur? Timeline of the 1996 murder as Duane 'Keffe D' Davis is found guilty
Nearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, a jury has convicted Duane “Keffe D” Davis of orchestrating the murder.
A Las Vegas jury has found Duane "Keffe D" Davis guilty of orchestrating the 1996 murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur, though prosecutors did not allege that he fired the fatal shots. The verdict came after a weeks-long trial that lasted less than three hours. Davis, who pleaded not guilty, is set to be sentenced on October 13. Prosecutors built their case around Davis's own statements in interviews and recordings, including a 2008 police interview where he claimed his nephew Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson fired the shots.
The defence argued that Davis exaggerated his role and that there was no physical evidence directly linking him to the shooting. Shakur, a prominent figure in hip-hop known for addressing issues such as racism and police brutality, was fatally shot on September 7, 1996, in Las Vegas. He was riding in a black BMW with Death Row Records founder Marion "Suge" Knight when a white Cadillac pulled up and opened fire. Knight survived with minor injuries, while Shakur passed away a week later at the age of 25.
