Duane 'Keffe D' Davis found guilty of 1996 murder of hip hop icon Tupac Shakur

A jury in Las Vegas convicted Duane 'Keffe D' Davis of first-degree murder in the 1996 drive-by shooting of hip hop icon Tupac Shakur. The trial, which lasted nine days, concluded with a guilty verdict within three hours. Davis, who was present with his nephew Orlando 'Baby Lane' Anderson during the shooting, admitted in a 2008 police interview that Anderson fired the fatal shots. Prosecutors argued that Davis orchestrated the attack due to his nephew's prior altercation with Tupac and his crew. Davis faces life in prison without parole but plans to appeal. The case has resurfaced after Anderson's death in 1998, and Tupac's family reacted emotionally to the conviction.
