Tupac Murder Verdict Finally Reached | Amarillo News

After a lightning-fast trial, Duane Davis, aka Keffe D, is convicted of first-degree murder in the 1996 Tupac Shakur shooting — the case that’s haunted music history for nearly 30 years. Found guilty after just three hours of deliberation, Davis, 63, admitted over time he was in the car during the drive-by and helped orchestrate the attack, even if he didn’t pull the trigger. Prosecutors dropped a gang enhancement charge but emphasized his own confessions and motive: revenge after Tupac and Suge Knight allegedly assaulted his nephew. The defense tried to cast doubt with claims of police corruption and lack of direct evidence, but it wasn’t enough. Tupac’s family, including sister Sekyiwa, emotionally embraced prosecutors in court, while Davis’s son wept in the gallery. Sentencing is set for October 13th — a moment of closure for a saga that gripped the world. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
