Duane Davis Convicted for 1996 Murder of Rapper Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas
A Las Vegas jury found former gang leader Duane "Keffe D" Davis guilty of first-degree murder for orchestrating the 1996 drive-by shooting that killed rapper Tupac Shakur. Davis, who denied involvement, was convicted based largely on his own public statements, memoir, and recorded conversations. Prosecutors argued he sought revenge after Shakur and his entourage beat Davis' nephew. The jury deliberated for less than three hours after a weeks-long trial. Davis faces a potential life sentence and plans to appeal.
