Jury selection has begun in Las Vegas for the trial of Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, a former gang leader accused of ordering the killing of rapper Tupac Shakur 30 years ago. According to Culture | The Guardian, prosecutors allege Davis provided the gun used in the fatal drive-by shooting. The trial is a significant development in one of the most high-profile unsolved killings in the US.
The trial of Davis, 63, the one-time leader of the South Side Compton Crips gang in California, is expected to take at least the rest of the week to seat a jury. Prosecutors aim to show that Davis was involved in the planning and execution of the attack on Shakur. Details of the case are limited, but it is known that the shooting occurred in Las Vegas.
The killing of Tupac Shakur is one of the most infamous unsolved murders in US history, and the trial of Davis has the potential to bring closure to the case. The significance of the trial is underscored by the fact that it has taken 30 years to bring a suspect to court.
