A trial has started in Las Vegas for a man accused of orchestrating the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur. Duane Davis, also known as Keffe D, faces a murder charge in connection with the drive-by shooting.
Davis was arrested in September 2023. He is accused of masterminding the killing of Shakur in the Nevada city. The rapper died after being shot multiple times.
The shooting occurred after a boxing match in Las Vegas. Shakur was in the passenger seat of a car when shots were fired from another vehicle.
Prosecutors allege Davis provided the gun used in the shooting. His arrest came after years of investigation into the unsolved murder.
The trial is expected to examine the events leading up to and following the shooting. It aims to establish Davis's role in the rapper's death.
This case has remained a high-profile mystery for many years. The start of the trial brings a new phase in the pursuit of justice for the victim.
