Former gang member 'Keffe D' found guilty of murdering rapper Tupac
Former gang member Keffe D has been convicted of orchestrating the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas. The jury based their decision largely on Davis's own admissions in his memoirs, rejecting his claims that the stories were exaggerated for profit.
Former gang member Duane Davis, known as Keffe D, has been found guilty of orchestrating the 1996 murder of iconic rapper Tupac Shakur. While the jury concluded that Davis did not personally fire the shots, they determined he planned the attack and provided the weapon used in the drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. Shakur was only 25 when he was fatally wounded, and the case remained cold for nearly three decades before new evidence emerged. The breakthrough in the investigation followed the publication of Davis's own memoirs in 2019, where he provided details about the incident and his involvement in the gang-related killing. Although the defense argued that Davis embellished these stories to boost book sales, the jury rejected these claims, noting that he is the last surviving occupant of the vehicle involved. Davis, who faces a potential life sentence, has already indicated his intention to appeal the verdict. His sentencing is scheduled for October 13th.
