A former leader of the South Side Crips gang has been found guilty of murder in the 1996 drive-by shooting death of rapper Tupac Shakur. Duane “Keffe D” Davis was convicted after a lengthy trial, bringing a conclusion to a case that has remained unsolved for nearly three decades. Prosecutors argued Davis orchestrated the shooting in Las Vegas, motivated by a rivalry between the Crips and Shakur’s record label, Death Row Records. The verdict follows years of speculation and numerous theories surrounding the hip-hop icon’s death. Davis is the first person to be convicted of directly participating in the murder. The conviction is seen as a landmark moment, finally delivering a degree of closure to the case and Shakur’s fans. Sentencing is pending, with Davis facing a potential life sentence.
