Duane "Keffe D" Davis, a former gang leader, is set to be sentenced to life in prison without parole for orchestrating the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas. Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August and is the only person charged in the case, which remained unsolved for nearly three decades. The shooting followed a casino altercation involving Shakur and gang members. Davis plans to appeal the conviction, while prosecutors seek the maximum sentence.
