A jury has found Duane “Keffe D” Davis guilty of orchestrating the murder of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur, bringing a verdict in one of the most high-profile and mysterious cases in hip-hop history — a case that has captivated fans and remained in the public spotlight for nearly three decades, AP reports.

The 63-year-old Davis was convicted on the sole count against him — murder with a deadly weapon. He could face life in prison. The verdict was delivered Monday after jurors deliberated for about three hours following a weeks-long trial in Las Vegas.

After the verdict was read, Tupac’s sister, Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur, broke down in tears and embraced prosecutors. Davis’ son covered his face with his hand.

In closing arguments earlier Monday, Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal told jurors that Davis obtained a gun and “went hunting” for Tupac Shakur and Death Row Records co-founder Marion “Suge” Knight after the two had beaten Davis’ nephew earlier that night.

“He is responsible for the murder of Tupac Shakur. Show him that you heard him. Find him guilty,” Palal told the jury.

Prosecutors argued that although Davis’ account of the events had changed repeatedly over the years, he had repeatedly confirmed that he was inside the white Cadillac from which the shots were fired.

Davis, prosecutors said, did not pull the trigger himself. But they argued that he ordered the shooting. As an influential gang leader, Davis had authority over the younger men in the car, including his own nephew, prosecutors said.

Davis’ attorney, Michael Sanft, urged jurors in his closing argument to consider whether there was any evidence that his client had ever ordered anyone to shoot — either before or after the confrontation.

The jury consisted of 16 people, including four alternates. Over nine days of testimony, they heard from 24 prosecution witnesses and three defense witnesses.

Prosecutors said they would drop a separate gang-enhancement allegation, citing difficulties in securing witnesses.

Tupac’s family members have also said they plan to wait for the final sentencing. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for October.

Tupac’s Murder Remains One of Hip-Hop’s Most Mysterious Crimes

The trial once again drew attention to a case that has fascinated hip-hop fans and true-crime observers for decades.

Tupac Shakur, widely regarded as one of the most influential rappers in history, was in Las Vegas on Sept. 7, 1996. As his car stopped at a red light, a white Cadillac pulled alongside it. Gunmen opened fire from the vehicle.

Shakur was struck by multiple bullets and died six days later. Marion “Suge” Knight, who was in the car with him, was also wounded but survived.

For years, no one was charged in connection with the rapper’s killing. That changed after Davis began publicly speaking about what happened that night.

He said he was inside the Cadillac and handed a gun to people sitting in the back seat. According to Davis, the shooting was carried out as retaliation for the beating of his nephew.

Davis is the only one of the four men prosecutors have linked to the Cadillac at the crime scene who is still alive.

Attorney Michael Sanft maintained that there was no physical evidence linking his client to the murder.

He argued that a book Davis co-authored, as well as his numerous public statements, had been heavily dramatized. According to the defense, Davis exaggerated his role in order to make money and cultivate an image of himself as a powerful gangster.

Prosecutor Binu Palal showed jurors Davis’ 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend, and played a recording of an interview in which Davis urged people to buy the book to learn the “real truth.”

Although the book contains a disclaimer stating that some facts had been altered, prosecutors argued that its central account of events was truthful.

In several interviews, Davis said he handed a gun to the people in the back seat. However, in other interviews and in his book, he never identified the person who actually pulled the trigger.
