Jury convicts a man of first-degree murder for the 1996 killing of rap icon Tupac Shakur

  • Duane "Keffe D" Davis was found guilty by a jury of first-degree murder for orchestrating the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur and faces life in prison.
  • Davis was a former gang leader who sought revenge after Tupac Shakur and associates beat up his nephew earlier that night.
  • The trial included testimony and focused on Davis's own statements from interviews, a 2008 police interview, and a 2019 memoir, where he admitted involvement but not pulling the trigger.
  • The defense argued there was no physical evidence linking Davis and claimed his confessions were fictionalized for profit, while prosecutors relied on his admissions and the gang rivalry context.
