A Las Vegas jury on Monday found former Crips gang leader Duane “Keffe D” Davis guilty of first-degree murder in the killing of rapper Tupac Shakur. 25-year-old Tupac Shakur was gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada, in September 1996. Rap record executive Suge Knight was driving a BMW while Tupac was riding as a passenger when passengers in a white Cadillac pulled up and opened fire on the rapper.
Prosecutors did not allege that Duane Davis pulled the trigger, but under Nevada law, anyone who helps aid, abet, or orchestrate a murder can be criminally charged. Duane Davis is the only person to be charged in the murder of Tupac Shakur.
