⚖️ Duane "Keffe D" Davis convicted of orchestrating Tupac's murder

For nearly 30 years, Tupac Shakur's 1996 killing was one of music's most notorious cold cases. A Las Vegas jury has now closed it.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis, 63, was found guilty of orchestrating the September 7 drive-by shooting — handing the murder weapon to the gunman, believed to be his own nephew. Jurors deliberated roughly 90 minutes.

The prosecution's case rested largely on Davis's own words: interviews, a BET docuseries, and a 2019 memoir describing that night in detail. The defense called confessions without corroboration insufficient. The jury disagreed.

Sentencing is set for October 13. Davis remains in custody without bail and, per Variety, plans to appeal.
