Tupac Murder Trial: Ex-Gang Leader Found Guilty
The 63-year-old former gang boss was convicted of first-degree murder after prosecutors said his own statements helped prove he orchestrated the killing.
- Nearly three decades after hip-hop star Tupac Shakur's murder, a Las Vegas jury found former gang figure Duane Keffe D Davis guilty of first-degree murder, just days before the 30th anniversary of the 1996 killing.
- Hours before the shooting on September 7, 1996, Shakur's entourage assaulted Davis's nephew, Orlando Anderson, at the MGM Grand hotel; prosecutors alleged Davis orchestrated the killing in retaliation for the beating.
- In his 2019 memoir Compton Street Legend, Davis admitted being inside the Cadillac used in the drive-by and claimed he disposed of the murder weapon after Shakur was struck four times and died six days later.
- District Judge Carli Kierny ordered the 63-year-old Davis to remain jailed until his October 13 sentencing, where he faces a life sentence; Davis indicated he intends to appeal the verdict.
- While Davis was convicted of orchestrating the attack, prosecutors never accused him of firing the weapon, and the actual shooter remains officially unnamed despite Davis's allegation that Anderson pulled the trigger.
