BREAKING: Duane "Keffe D" Davis has been found guilty of first-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon in connection with the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, nearly 30 years after the rapper was fatally shot in Las Vegas.
Jurors deliberated for about 90 minutes before reaching the verdict.
Davis now faces a potential life sentence, with sentencing to be determined on Oct. 13.
Keffe D was arrested on Sept. 29, 2023, following a raid on his home that same year. Police charged him with murder with use of a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal street gang.
He was accused of obtaining the weapon that was used in Tupac's murder and was present during the Las Vegas shooting. The other three men believed to be present during the shooting have all died, including the alleged gunman, Keffe D's nephew Orlando Anderson, who was killed in 1998.
Police said the shooting was in retaliation for Anderson being jumped by Tupac and members of Death Row Records following a Mike Tyson fight on Sept. 7, 1996.
Opening statements in the trial kicked off on Aug. 17. Excerpts of Keffe D's 2019 book Compton Street Legend were referred to in the trial. The book includes Keffe discussing the events surrounding the 1996 shooting.
President Bola Tinubu has reportedly urged a court to prevent the U.S. Department of Justice, FBI and DEA from releasing records linked to allegations of heroin trafficking.

The 2030 World Cup will be co-hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco - but no decision has yet been made about where the final will take place.
Spain are pushing hard for Real Madrid's renovated Bernabeu, one of world football's iconic venues, to be selected.
But Morocco are building a new 115,000-seater stadium near Casablanca and are lobbying hard.
Who will win? The battle is on to stage the biggest game in world sport.
