  "account": "A jury has convicted Duane \"Keffe D\" Davis of the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, 30 years after the drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. Jurors deliberated for under three hours before reaching a guilty verdict on charges of murder with a deadly weapon and intent to promote a criminal gang. The 63-year-old faces a potential life sentence. Prosecutors contend Davis did not pull the trigger that killed Shakur in the 1996 shooting near the Las Vegas Strip, but allege he was the \"shot caller\" who handed the gun to the gunman. Davis, a known leader of a Los Angeles street gang, has admitted his role in Shakur's death through multiple confessions to police, media, and in his own memoir. Despite this, the case is supported by \"a wealth of circumstantial evidence and corroborating witnesses,\" according to prosecutor Binu Palal. The defense argues the prosecution's only evidence is Davis' admitted confessions, which they question as unreliable. Davis sat quietly with his lawyer after the verdict, while Judge Carli Kierny set his sentencing for October 13.",
