A jury has found Duane Davis guilty of murder. He was convicted in the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur.
The verdict came after nearly three hours of deliberation by a 12-member jury in Las Vegas. Davis, 63, was a former gang leader.
The conviction brings an end to a decades-long investigation into Shakur's death. Shakur was shot and killed in Las Vegas in September 1996.
Prosecutors argued that Davis orchestrated the shooting. He had previously admitted his involvement in the killing in interviews.
The legal proceedings have shed light on the events surrounding the murder. Details emerged about the circumstances leading up to the shooting.
Davis faces a potential life sentence. The court will determine the exact penalty at a later date.
This verdict represents a significant development in a high-profile cold case. It provides a measure of closure for those affected by the rapper's death.
