Tupac Murder Trial Opens as Officer Recalls Chaos After 1996 Shooting
Former gang leader Duane “Keffe D” Davis is on trial in Las Vegas over the 1996 drive-by shooting that killed rapper Tupac Shakur. Prosecutors allege Davis organised the attack in retaliation after his nephew was beaten during a confrontation involving Tupac’s entourage. They say details in Davis’ memoir support their case, although they do not accuse him of firing the fatal shots. Davis, 63, has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers call the prosecution’s account fiction and question why the case went unsolved for almost three decades. Former Las Vegas police officer Garry Dale testified that Tupac declined to name his attackers while being taken to hospital, reportedly saying, “We’ll take care of it.” Tupac died days after the shooting in September 1996.
