  "account": "A former leader of the South Side Compton Crips, Duane \"Keffe D\" Davis, is on trial for allegedly ordering the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, according to prosecutors. The killing occurred after Davis's nephew was beaten by a rival mob, and Shakur retaliated by humiliating Davis's nephew on camera, prosecutors allege. Davis reportedly handed a gun to someone in the back seat of his car and ordered them to shoot Shakur, but claims he did not pull the trigger himself. If convicted, Davis could face life in prison without parole. The trial, nearly three decades after the murder, highlights the long-standing feud between Death Row Records and Bad Boy Records, two major hip-hop labels.",
