Tupac Shakur Murder Trial Opens in Las Vegas
Prosecutors say Davis relied on his own statements, interviews and memoir to build the murder case, which could bring a life sentence if he is convicted.
- Duane 'Keffe D' Davis is on trial in Las Vegas charged with murder related to the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur, accused of organizing the attack and providing the gun used, though prosecutors do not allege he was the shooter.
- Tupac Shakur was fatally shot while riding in a black BMW, and the attackers arrived in a white Cadillac; suspects in that vehicle besides Davis are deceased.
- The trial includes witness testimonies from former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, Shakur's family members, and other key witnesses, while Suge Knight, the only surviving eyewitness present in Shakur's car that night, has said he will not testify.
- Davis has accused Sean 'Diddy' Combs of offering money to kill Shakur and Knight, but Combs denies these allegations; Davis's defense plans to call experts on false confessions.
