Jury to hear closing arguments in Tupac killing trial

Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, 63, is facing a murder charge in Nevada for allegedly orchestrating the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur. Davis, a former leader of the South Side Compton Crips gang, claims he acted in retaliation for his nephew's beating by Shakur and his associates. While prosecutors argue that Davis' public confessions and recorded statements support the charges, his defense attorney contends that these statements are merely bravado and lack corroboration. The trial includes audio recordings from Davis' interviews and secret meetings with investigators, though the identity of the actual shooter remains unknown. Relatives of Tupac are present at the trial, hoping for closure.
