Duane 'Keffe D' Davis sentenced to 40 years to life for Tupac Shakur's murder
Duane "Keffe D" Davis -- the only person ever charged with the murder of Tupac Shakur -- was sentenced Tuesday in a Las Vegas court after being convicted.
Duane Keffe D Davis, 63, has been sentenced to 40 years to life in prison for the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, according to prosecutors. Davis is the only individual ever charged with the 1996 drive-by shooting that took place near the Las Vegas Strip. The victim died six days after being shot. Davis had consistently claimed his involvement in the crime and even confessed to his "shot caller" role in the killing during various interviews and statements.
Despite his lawyers arguing he was innocent, a jury found Davis guilty of first-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon in August.
