Duane "Keffe D" Davis has been found guilty of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon for the killing of Tupac Shakur, almost 30 years after the rapper was shot in Las Vegas.
Jurors returned the verdict after nearly three hours of deliberations following closing arguments in which prosecutors pointed to Davis's own repeated accounts of the killing, while the defence argued there was no independent evidence placing him in the white Cadillac, or in Las Vegas, at the time.
Davis faces a potential sentence of life in prison without parole. Sentencing is due on 13 October and he says he plans to appeal.

Was there another white Cadillac in Las Vegas on the night Tupac Shakur was shot?
Two former officers testified that they saw a cream-coloured Cadillac entering and leaving Suge Knight’s property shortly before the shooting, raising questions about the light-coloured Cadillac prosecutors say was used by Tupac’s killers.
Duane “Keffe D” Davis is charged with murder and accused of orchestrating Shakur's death. He has denied the charges and pleaded not guilty.
Jurors also heard that other people contacted investigators claiming involvement in Tupac’s murder, as the defence challenged detectives over their inability to independently corroborate key parts of Duane “Keffe D” Davis’s account.
The defence has now rested its case, with closing arguments due next week.

The prosecution also calls former Compton police officer Robert Ladd, who testifies that Davis was a high-ranking member of the South Side Compton Crips and a "shot caller" with authority over younger gang members.
The defence continues to question the physical evidence, highlighting that earlier searches found nothing that could place Davis in Las Vegas on the night Tupac was shot.
