Former gang leader guilty of killing Tupac Shakur nearly 30 years on

Google News IE — Crime (en) reports that Duane "Keffe D" Davis, a former gang leader, has been found guilty of the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas.

Shakur was shot during a drive-by shooting in September 1996 and died six days later. He was 25 years old. The case remained unsolved for nearly three decades before prosecutors built a case against Davis.

Davis had long been considered a key figure in the killing. Investigators alleged he was present in the car from which the fatal shots were fired, and that the attack was linked to a rivalry between East Coast and West Coast hip-hop factions.

The conviction marks a significant milestone in one of the most high-profile unsolved murders in music history. Davis faces a potential life sentence following the verdict.
