Duane Davis Accused of Orchestrating Tupac Shakur's Murder as Revenge
Prosecutors at Las Vegas accused Duane «Keffe D» Davis of orchestrating Tupac Shakur's murder as an act of revenge, though he didn't fire the weapon. The trial entered its main phase Monday after jury selection—30 years after the rapper's unsolved death. Davis, 63, a former drug trafficker, pleads not guilty and faces life without parole. His earlier statements contradict his current claims: in 2008 he told police he was in the Cadillac from which shots were fired, and described his role in 2019 memoirs. He now claims he was in Los Angeles that night. Defense attorney Michael Sanft called the prosecution's theory «fiction», noting neither the weapon nor vehicle has been recovered.
