“I WAS JUST TELLING STORIES FOR MONEY”!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT, PROSECUTORS SAY DUANE “KEFFE D” DAVIS ORCHESTRATED THE FATAL 1996 DRIVE-BY ATTACK ON TUPAC SHAKUR… AND A LAS VEGAS JURY HAS NOW CONVICTED HIM OF FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.
On August 31, 2026, a Las Vegas jury convicted Duane “Keffe D” Davis of first-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon.
The verdict came nearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was killed.
Davis, 63, is the first and only person ever charged in connection with Tupac’s murder to be convicted in the nearly three-decade-old case.
On September 7, 1996, Tupac was shot during a drive-by attack.
The rapper was riding in a BMW alongside Death Row Records co-founder Marion “Suge” Knight when the shooting occurred.
Tupac died six days later.
He was 25 years old.
Davis was not accused of pulling the trigger.
Prosecutors argued instead that he orchestrated the fatal attack.
They argued that Davis helped organize the group responsible for the gunfire.
They also asserted that he supplied the firearm used in the shooting.
According to prosecutors, the drive-by was carried out as retaliation.
They stated that Tupac and his associates had assaulted Davis’ nephew earlier that night.
That nephew was Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson.

The initial assault occurred at the MGM Grand.
And much of the prosecution’s murder case relied directly on Davis’ own words.
Over the years, Davis had spoken publicly about the deadly shooting.
He discussed his involvement during interviews.
He also co-wrote the 2019 memoir “Compton Street Legend.”
In court, prosecutors presented recorded conversations Davis had with investigators.
They argued that Davis’ recorded statements demonstrated that he helped plan the attack.
But the defense rejected the state’s narrative.
Davis’ defense argued that his public statements were exaggerated or fabricated for money and attention.
They maintained that prosecutors lacked enough reliable evidence proving Davis orchestrated the murder.
Then the jurors received the case to deliberate.
After nearly three hours of deliberation, the jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict.
Davis now faces the possibility of life in prison.
Yet he has said he plans to appeal.
He remains the only person convicted in Tupac Shakur’s death.
