The Brief Duane  Keffe D  Davis is set to be sentenced on Tuesday for orchestrating the killing of rap icon Tupac Shakur 30 years ago. In September, Duane  Keffe D  Davis was found guilty of first-degree murder in the killing of Shakur. The prosecution argued that Duane Davis  went hunting  for Shakur and Marion  Suge  Knight on the night of the killing in 1996.



Duane  Keffe D  Davis is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday for arranging the murder of rap legend Tupac Shakur, who was shot in a drive-by shooting on Sept. 7, 1996.

In August 2026, Davis, 63, was convicted of first-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon. The Associated Press reported that Davis is the only person ever charged in the death of Shakur. Davis faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.


During the weekslong trial, prosecutors relied on Davis' own statements he made to police and documentarians.

According to the AP, prosecutors argued Duane  Keffe D  Davis orchestrated the shooting and provided the gun used in Shakur's death, which was the result of a rivalry between the South Side Compton Crips and Mob Piru.

Davis' defense attorney referenced a lack of physical evidence that linked his client to the crime, and he portrayed Davis as a liar who was attempting to make money.


Following nine days of hearing testimony in August, the jury deliberated for three hours before turning over the guilty verdict. The AP noted that Davis said in court that he plans to appeal.

Davis is the only person to be charged and convicted in the killing of Tupac Shakur. The three other people who allegedly were in the Cadillac - including Davis' nephew Orlando  Baby Lane  Anderson who Davis said was the one who pulled the trigger - have died.

The AP reported that Sean  Diddy  Combs and his alleged role in Shakur's murder were mentioned often throughout the trial. Witnesses
