Jury hears closing arguments in Tupac Shakur murder trial

A jury in Las Vegas is hearing closing arguments in the trial of Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, a former Los Angeles gang leader accused of orchestrating the 1986 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur. Davis, once a leader of the South Side Compton Crips, is alleged to have ordered the killing after his nephew was assaulted by members of Shakur's entourage. Prosecutors claim Davis arranged for a shooter to kill Shakur during a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, while the driver of Shakur's vehicle, Suge Knight, was injured. The case, which has remained unsolved for decades, gained renewed attention after Davis's memoirs were published in 2019. His defense attorney argues that Davis's confessions were fabricated to boost sales of his book. If convicted, Davis could face life imprisonment.
