A Las Vegas jury has convicted Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, 63, of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon in connection with the 1996 drive-by shooting that killed rapper Tupac Shakur. The conviction marks the resolution of a nearly 30-year-old case. Davis, a former gang leader, was found guilty after a weeks-long trial, with the jury reaching a unanimous verdict. The shooting occurred in Paradise, Nevada, when gunfire from a white Cadillac struck Shakur, who later died from his injuries. Prosecutors claimed Davis orchestrated the attack as retaliation for a previous altercation involving his nephew. Although Davis did not fire the shots, Nevada law allows for conviction based on organization. Davis, who had previously pleaded not guilty, now faces a potential life sentence and plans to appeal.
