Duane Davis sentenced to 40 years to life for the death of Tupac Shakur

Duane “Keffe D” Davis was sentenced Tuesday to 40 years to life for the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, a case that remained unsolved for nearly three decades. The 63-year-old, a former Southside Compton Crips leader, received 731 days of credit for time already served. Davis was convicted of first-degree murder on August 31 for plotting the killing near the Las Vegas Strip. Prosecutors said he orchestrated the shooting in retaliation after a fight involving Shakur’s entourage and Davis’ nephew Orlando Anderson at the MGM Grand. Shakur died six days later. The judge deemed Davis’ memoir and prior interviews admissible evidence.
