'Forever Grateful,' Family of Tupac Shakur Issue Statement After Keffe D Found Guilty in Las Vegas Murder

Jurors found the former gang leader guilty of murder with a deadly weapon, and he faces a possible life sentence.

  • A Las Vegas jury convicted Duane Davis of first-degree murder on Monday, marking the first conviction in the nearly 30-year-old case surrounding rapper Tupac Shakur's 1996 killing.
  • Prosecutors accused Davis, an admitted Los Angeles gang leader, of orchestrating the drive-by shooting as retaliation, though authorities allege he did not personally fire the weapon used to kill Shakur.
  • Jurors deliberated for less than three hours before finding Davis guilty of murder with a deadly weapon, and Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny set sentencing for October 13.
  • Tupac Shakur's family expressed relief, with cousin Aiysha Obafemi stating the family is 'elated and relieved' by the jury's decision and thanking jurors for their careful attention to evidence.
  • Tupac's sister, Sekyiwa Shakur, attended the proceedings 30 years after the shooting, as the family emphasized his cultural legacy continues to impact the world beyond the trial's conclusion.
