A jury in Clark County, Nevada, found Duane 'Keffe D' Davis guilty of first-degree murder for his role in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. Prosecutors argued Davis orchestrated the drive-by shooting as revenge after Shakur and Suge Knight assaulted Davis's nephew at the MGM Grand. The conviction relied heavily on Davis's own admissions in memoirs, podcasts, and interviews, as the state lacked physical evidence and the murder weapon.
