LAS VEGAS — Nearly three decades after the death of rapper Tupac Shakur, a Las Vegas jury has found Duane “Keffe D” Davis guilty of first-degree murder in connection with the 1996 killing.
The verdict was delivered on August 31, 2026, after jurors deliberated for about three hours. Davis, 63, was convicted of murder with the use of a deadly weapon.
Tupac Shakur was shot during a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996. He died six days later at the age of 25. The case remained one of the most closely watched unsolved killings in hip-hop history for decades.

What prosecutors argued
Prosecutors argued that Davis helped organize the attack and supplied the weapon. They did not claim that Davis personally fired the shots. The prosecution also relied on statements Davis had made publicly about his involvement.
The defense disputed the prosecution's case and argued that Davis's previous statements were not reliable evidence of his involvement.
What happens next?
Davis could face a sentence of life in prison. He has also indicated that he intends to appeal the conviction. Sentencing will take place separately from the verdict.
The conviction represents a major development in a case that has remained in the public spotlight for almost 30 years.
