Duane “Keffe D” Davis has been found guilty of the 1996 murder of rapper and actor Tupac Shakur, reports ABC News. The verdict came after less than three hours of deliberation from the jury. Davis was charged with one count of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further, or assist a criminal gang.
It was not argued by prosecutors that the now 63-year-old Davis fired the weapon that killed Shakur in the September 7, 1996 drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip, but rather that he orchestrated the event and gave the gun to the shooter in their vehicle. It’s alleged Davis’ nephew Orlando Anderson, or another man in the backseat of the car, carried out the shooting. Anderson was killed in a reportedly unrelated 1998 gang shootout at a Compton, California car wash.
“For nearly 18 years, Duane Davis has told the police, television, books, YouTube interviewers – anybody that will listen, he has told – he is responsible for the murder of Tupac Shakur,” prosecutor Binu Palal told the jury. “Tell him you hear him – find him guilty.”
