Duane "Keffe D" Davis, a former gang leader, was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on Tuesday for orchestrating the 1996 murder of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur. Judge Carli Kierny emphasized the gravity of Davis' actions, stating that he "doesn't get to take a man from his family" and "doesn't get to take his whole life." Davis' sentence also included a mandatory 20-year enhancement due to his profit from the murder through books and media interviews.
