MAN CONVICTED IN 1996 KILLING OF RAPPER TUPAC SHAKUR
Duane "Keffe D" Davis says there is no evidence tying him to Tupac Shakur’s killing and that he will challenge the verdict.
- On Monday, August 31, a jury convicted 63-year-old Duane "Keffe D" Davis of first-degree murder in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, with Judge Carli Kierny setting sentencing for October 13.
- Authorities arrested Davis in 2023, the only person charged in the incident, and prosecutors introduced his 2019 memoir 'Compton Street Legend' as evidence despite defense arguments the book was fictional.
- Davis insists he is innocent and intends to appeal, claiming his civil rights were violated; he told The Hollywood Reporter, "We already filed it before the trial even started."
- While awaiting sentencing at the Clark County Detention Center, Davis claimed he unsuccessfully sought legal funding from Sean Combs and Dr. Dre, maintaining "I'm innocent, man."
- The verdict arrived almost exactly 30 years after Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting; the jury deliberated for just three hours in a city known for its "heavily guarded Homeland Security citadels.
