Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis Says ‘I’d Like to Have My Stuff Back’ After Jury Convicts Him of Murdering Tupac

Jurors reached a verdict in less than three hours after prosecutors relied on Davis’s own statements and memoir to tie him to the killing.

  • On Aug. 31, 2026, a Las Vegas jury found Duane Davis guilty of orchestrating the murder of Rapper Tupac Shakur, resolving a nearly 30-year-old cold case that remained one of America's most famous mysteries.
  • Shakur was just 25 and at the height of his fame when he was killed amid crisscrossing tensions between Los Angeles gangs and the 1990s East Coast versus West Coast hip hop rivalry.
  • Prosecutors built their case on Davis' admissions, including recorded interviews and a published memoir, though defense attorneys argued at trial that his accounts were fictionalized and made only for financial profit.
  • Judge Carli Kierny scheduled sentencing for Oct. 13, ordering Davis held without bail; Davis then interrupted proceedings demanding, "I'd like to have my stuff back. Computers, all the phones, everything."
  • Testimony revealed the 1996 shooting sparked a violent gang war in Compton, California, which left Three people dead and 10 others injured in the days following Rapper Tupac Shakur's death.
