Dispute about fact vs. fiction at the trial over Tupac Shakur's 1996 killing

Prosecutors opened Duane “Keffe D” Davis’ Las Vegas murder trial Monday by arguing that, while Davis did not “pull the trigger” in Tupac Shakur’s 1996 killing, he planned the shooting as retaliation. Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal told jurors Davis targeted Shakur after a beating of his nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, outside the MGM Grand hours before the Sept. 7, 1996 shooting. Davis, 63, faces life in prison if convicted of murder with a deadly weapon and intent to promote a criminal gang; he pleaded not guilty. The defense called the prosecution’s story “fiction,” and attacked gaps in the investigation.
