Former Crips boss Duane 'Keffe D' Davis guilty of murder for 1996 slaying of rap legend Tupac Shakur

Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, a former leader of the Crips gang, has been found guilty of plotting the 1996 drive-by shooting that killed rapper Tupac Shakur. Davis, 63, was convicted of murder with a deadly weapon and aiding a criminal gang. The conviction comes after a trial where prosecutors argued Davis sought revenge for his nephew's assault by Shakur's entourage. Davis did not fire the gun but allegedly provided the weapon and coordinated the attack. His 2008 cooperation with federal investigators regarding the death of Biggie Smalls and his 2019 memoir contributed to the renewed investigation. Defense attorneys challenged the prosecution's reliance on Davis' evolving testimony, noting lack of physical evidence such as surveillance footage or phone records placing him in Las Vegas on the night of the shooting.
