Duane “Keffe D” Davis Sentenced to 40 Years to Life After Conviction in Tupac’s Murder

Duane “Keffe D” Davis, who was found guilty of orchestrating the murder of Tupac Shakur, was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on Tuesday by a Nevada judge.
A jury convicted Davis, 63, in August of first-degree murder after prosecutors with the Clark County District Attorney’s office presented evidence that he gathered up men, rode around looking for the rapper and gave the gun to the shooter who eventually shot Tupac following a confrontation with a relative of Davis in Las Vegas in 1996. “While no amount of time in prison can bring Tupac back, we hope this sentencing brings some measure of closure and peace to his family after nearly 30 years,” District Attorney Steve Wolfson said in a statement.
The case was one of the most notorious killings in hip-hop history and had gone without a conviction for 30 years until prosecutors were able to charge Davis based, in part, on his admissions in a memoir.
