Tupac Shakur Murder Trial Ends in Guilty Verdict
The guilty verdict leaves unresolved questions about who ordered the 1996 killing, after prosecutors said the case remained a mystery for nearly 30 years.
- On Monday, August 31, a Las Vegas jury found Duane 'Keffe D' Davis guilty of first-degree murder in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, marking the first conviction in the nearly 30-year-old case.
- Prosecutors argued Davis orchestrated the retaliatory shooting after Shakur's entourage beat Davis's nephew, Orlando Anderson, at the MGM Grand hours earlier that night.
- The case relied heavily on Davis's own recorded admissions and his 2019 memoir 'Compton Street Legend,' where he acknowledged passing a loaded Glock to the back seat of the Cadillac.
- Shakur's family expressed they were 'elated and relieved' by the verdict, thanking jurors for 'thoughtfully fulfilling their duty and carefully listening to all the evidence.'
- The conviction revived calls to solve the 1997 murder of Christopher Wallace, known as Biggie Smalls, with former prosecutor Neama Rahmani suggesting Los Angeles officials may re-examine the case, which the LAPD confirmed remains active.
