A Las Vegas jury found Duane Davis guilty of murder in the 1996 shooting death of rapper Tupac Shakur, a verdict reached after just hours of deliberation. Davis, who had pleaded not guilty, faces up to life in prison at his October sentencing. Prosecutors argued the killing was gang retaliation for an earlier casino altercation.

EXPANDED:

The conviction stems from the September 1996 drive-by shooting on the Las Vegas Strip that killed Shakur and wounded Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight. Davis was arrested in September 2023, more than a quarter-century after the killing, and remained jailed through the trial. His 2008 recorded police interview, in which he detailed his involvement, served as the prosecution's key evidence.
