Ex-gang boss convicted of Tupac Shakur murder after nearly three decades

A jury has found Duane "Keffe D" Davis guilty of the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, BBC reports, bringing a verdict in one of the most high-profile unsolved killings in music history.

Davis, a former gang boss, was charged in connection with the 1996 drive-by shooting in Las Vegas that killed Shakur, who was 25 at the time. The rapper died six days after being shot multiple times while travelling in a car after a boxing match.

Prosecutors argued that Davis orchestrated the attack from a white Cadillac that pulled alongside Shakur's vehicle on Flamingo Road. Davis had previously discussed his alleged role in the killing in a memoir and in media interviews, statements that investigators later used as part of the case against him.
