POOL/AFP via Getty Images A jury has found Duane “Keffe D” Davis guilty of orchestrating the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur.
After a day of closing arguments, Davis was found guilty of murder with the use of a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang, according to ABC News. Davis, 63, faces a maximum of life in prison.
The jury deliberated for roughly 90 minutes after a weeks-long trial in Las Vegas. Prosecutors and police claimed that Davis orchestrated Shakur’s murder in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and handed the gunman the murder weapon. They believe that the actual shooter was either Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, Davis’ nephew, or another man who was in the backseat of a car.
