BREAKING: Duane 'Keffe D' Davis found guilty of first-degree murder for orchestrating the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur.

Duane Keffe D Davis has been found guilty of first-degree murder for the killing of Tupac Shakur.

Thirty years, almost to the day. Tupac was shot on the Las Vegas Strip in September 1996, and for decades the case sat open while everyone with a theory wrote a book about it. Davis was the last man alive from the car that night, and prosecutors said he was the one who orchestrated the hit. Today a jury agreed.

You can see him here in court, and this is the man who talked about that night for years, in interviews, in his own memoir. Those words followed him all the way into this verdict.

One of the most famous unsolved murders in American music now has an answer, and it took three decades to get it. Sentencing comes next, and Davis is in his sixties.
