Duane "Keffe D" Davis says there is no evidence tying him to Tupac Shakur’s killing and that he will challenge the verdict.
- On Monday, August 31, a jury convicted 63-year-old Duane "Keffe D" Davis of first-degree murder in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, with Judge Carli Kierny setting sentencing for October 13.
- Authorities arrested Davis in 2023, the only person charged in the incident, and prosecutors introduced his 2019 memoir 'Compton Street Legend' as evidence despite defense arguments the book was fictional.
- Davis insists he is innocent and intends to appeal, claiming his civil rights were violated; he told The Hollywood Reporter, "We already filed it before the trial even started."
- While awaiting sentencing at the Clark County Detention Center, Davis claimed he unsuccessfully sought legal funding from Sean Combs and Dr. Dre, maintaining "I'm innocent, man."
- The verdict arrived almost exactly 30 years after Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting; the jury deliberated for just three hours in a city known for its "heavily guarded Homeland Security citadels.
