Jury selection begins in Las Vegas for the murder trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, who is accused of masterminding the 1996 drive-by shooting that killed hip-hop star Tupac Shakur. The case, which prosecutors describe as long-unsolved, moves to trial decades after the shooting.
According to reporting, the killing is tied to alleged hostilities between two Los Angeles street gangs, and Shakur is widely regarded as one of hip-hop’s most influential artists. Outlets describe the trial as the next major step in determining whether Davis orchestrated the attack. While coverage centers on the jury-selection start and the historical context of the shooting, they do not present materially different core claims about the defendant or the alleged circumstances of the murder.
