Duane 'Keffe D' Davis Convicted for 1996 Murder of Rapper Tupac Shakur
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 pulling the trigger, was convicted based largely on his own public statements, memoir, and recorded conversations. The shooting was reportedly retaliation after Shakur and his entourage beat Davis' nephew earlier that night. Davis faces life imprisonment and plans to appeal the verdict, which closes a nearly 30-year-old case.
