Ex-Gang Leader Convicted of Tupac Shakur's 1996 Murder After Decades-Long Wait

Duane "Keffe D" Davis, an ex-gang leader from Compton, has been found guilty of first-degree murder in the 1996 drive-by shooting death of rapper Tupac Shakur. The verdict was delivered by a Nevada jury nearly 30 years after the iconic artist was fatally shot on the Las Vegas Strip.

Davis, who had been a central figure in the investigation for years, immediately stated his intention to appeal the decision following the reading of the guilty verdict. The conviction marks a significant, albeit long-delayed, development in a case that has captivated the public and the music industry for decades, bringing a measure of closure to a high-profile unsolved crime.
