Decades later, justice arrives for Tupac Shakur’s murder.
A Las Vegas jury has found Duane “Keffe D” Davis, 63, guilty of arranging the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, bringing one of the most notorious unsolved killings in history to a close.
Jurors deliberated for less than three hours before delivering the verdict.
The case stems from a May 1996 altercation when Davis’ nephew, Orlando Anderson, allegedly assaulted a Death Row Records associate at a shoe store.
On September 7, after a boxing match at the MGM Grand, Shakur led a retaliatory assault on Anderson before departing with Suge Knight. Seeking retribution, Davis went “hunting” for Shakur and Knight, according to prosecutors.
Later that evening, Shakur was shot alongside Knight while sitting in a BMW, dying from his wounds less than a week later.
Davis admitted in interviews and his memoir that he was in the car with the shooter but did not pull the trigger.
He pleaded not guilty but was convicted of murder with use of a deadly weapon. Davis faces life in prison at his October 13 sentencing.
