Trial Set for Man Accused in Tupac Shakur Killing Nearly 30 Years Ago

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — The trial for Duane "Keefe D" Davis, accused of planning the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, is scheduled to begin. Prosecutors contend Davis orchestrated the drive-by shooting that resulted in Shakur's death.

Shakur died nearly three decades ago following the incident near the Las Vegas Strip. Authorities have pursued the case for years.

Davis has publicly acknowledged his presence in the vehicle from which the shots were fired. He stated he was inside the Cadillac with the gunman. Media outlets, including NBC, have reported on the upcoming proceedings, with Chloe Melas providing coverage and Laura Jarrett offering legal analysis.
