In Las Vegas, opening statements began Monday in the murder trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, nearly 30 years after rapper Tupac Shakur was shot near the Strip. Prosecutors told jurors that a gang war in Compton drove the killing and that Davis orchestrated it as revenge for an attack on his nephew. This is prosecutor Binu Palal.
Binu Palal: “Duane Davis has repeatedly told us, over and over again, about the anger he felt and his own role in the revenge drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur. And now, nearly 30 years later, we’re going to ask you to finally hold Duane Davis accountable.”
Tupac Shakur was the son of Afeni Shakur, a prominent activist and member of the Black Panther Party.
