Canadian-American author and former LAPD detective
The trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis continues in Las Vegas. Prosecutors rely on his 2008 police interview and a 2019 memoir to argue he masterminded the 1996 Tupac Shakur shooting, while the defense disputes the evidence and contends his accounts are unreliable braggadocio.
A Clark County jury has found Duane “Keffe D” Davis guilty of first‑degree murder with a deadly weapon in the 1996 Las Vegas killing of Tupac Shakur. Davis, 63, has said he will appeal. Sentencing is set for October 13.
A federal jury has acquitted Lil Durk, Durk Banks, of conspiracy, murder-for-hire and stalking resulting in death after deliberations over three days. Co-defendants are convicted on stalking-related counts, while Durk remains jailed awaiting a separate racketeering trial.
