Prosecutors say Duane “Keffe D” Davis ordered the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur as an act of gang revenge, as a trial gets under way about three decades after the murder. Jurors hear that Shakur is being shot dead following a planned attack tied to the alleged motive.
Vanguard and The Punch report the same core claim: the accused killer is said to have acted for “revenge” after events involving rival groups. Vanguard adds that a mobster later boasted about the role connected to the killing, while The Punch focuses on Davis’s alleged order and revenge motive as the case is presented to the jury. Both outlets frame the testimony as part of the prosecution’s opening phase in a high-profile case that has drawn sustained public attention since Shakur’s death.
