  "summary": "Duane \"Keffe D\" Davis, 63, has been convicted of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon for his role in the 1996 killing of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur. A jury in Clark County, Nevada, deliberated for nearly three hours before finding Davis guilty, capping an 11-day trial.\n\nAccording to prosecutors, Davis orchestrated the drive-by shooting after Shakur and Death Row Records co-founder Marion \"Suge\" Knight beat up Davis' nephew earlier that night. Davis acquired a firearm, got his group together, and went hunting for Shakur.\n\nDavis is expected to appeal the conviction and will face a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole at his sentencing on October 13. The verdict brings closure to a case that has captivated hip-hop fans for decades, with Shakur's sister, Sekyiwa \"Set\" Shakur, crying and hugging prosecutors after the verdict was announced.",
