A trial has started in Las Vegas for Duane Davis. He is the only person charged in the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.
The trial began on Monday, August 10. It is nearly 30 years after the rapper was killed.
Davis, who is 63 years old, faces one charge of murder with a deadly weapon. This charge comes from a prosecutor.
Prosecutors claim Davis acted with the intent to promote criminal street gang activity. This is according to court documents.
Shakur was shot and killed in Las Vegas in September 1996. The shooting happened after a boxing match.
Davis has been in custody since his arrest in September 2023. He has previously admitted to being present during the shooting.
The case has been ongoing for decades. This trial marks a significant step in seeking justice for the rapper's death.
The court will hear evidence from both the prosecution and the defense.
