  "summary": "A Las Vegas jury has convicted Duane “Keffe D” Davis of the 1996 murder of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur, bringing closure to a case that has lingered for three decades. Davis, a 63-year-old former gang leader, was found guilty after a two-week trial that focused on his alleged role as the \"on-the-ground, on-site commander\" behind the drive-by shooting. Prosecutors argued that Davis sought revenge against Shakur following a confrontation between Shakur and Davis's nephew, Orlando \"Baby Lane\" Anderson. The conviction marks the end of a prolonged period of speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the rapper's death.",
