Tupac’s Murder Case Heads to Trial, 30 Years After Rap Icon’s Death
Duane “Keffe D” Davis was arrested in 2023 on allegations that he orchestrated the rapper's death in 1996.
The murder trial linked to the death of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur will officially begin with jury selection in Las Vegas on Monday, nearly three years after Duane “Keffe D” Davis was first arrested and charged in 2023, and almost 30 years after Shakur was killed.
Davis stands accused of orchestrating Shakur’s murder and faces a count of murder with a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang in the rapper’s death.
Shakur’s death is one of the most infamous unresolved incidents in pop culture and was the subject of significant skepticism and theories for decades. The rapper was shot in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas on Sept. 7, 1996, riding in the passenger seat while former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight was driving. Shakur was hospitalized and died six days later.
