Duane Davis found guilty of first degree murder of Tupac

Yesterday, a Las Vegas jury found Duane "Keffe D" Davis guilty of first degree murder for the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. Davis was found guilty of a single count of murder with a deadly weapon. He could be sentenced to life in prison. The jury deliberated for less than 3 hours after a weekslong trial in Las Vegas. Prosecutors allege that Davis deliberately went and got a gun after Shakur and Suge Knight beat up Davis' nephew. They allege that Davis was in the car from which the shots were fired that killed Tupac and also that Davis gave the shooter, whomever he was, the gun and told the shooter to fire. Under Nevada law, someone who helps another person commit murder can be convicted of the crime. Interestingly, the case remained unsolved for decades, but was reignited when Davis himself did interviews and stated that he was in the car when Tupac was killed. Davis' recount varied over the years, but as prosecutors stated, in every retelling of the story, Davis was in the car that had the person that fired shots at Tupac. Davis also released a 2019 book called Compton Street Legend where he talks about being int he car during the shooting and revealed details that confirmed he was in the location of the shooting during the shooting.
