India, Aug. 5 -- Nearly 30 years after rapper Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in Las Vegas, the long awaited murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis has begun, bringing renewed attention to one of hip hop's most enduring unsolved crimes.
Prosecution Outlines Conspiracy Allegations
Prosecutors allege that Davis, a former South Side Compton Crips leader, orchestrated the 1996 drive by shooting that claimed Shakur's life. Although authorities have not identified the gunman with certainty, they contend Davis supplied the weapon and directed the attack following an altercation involving his nephew, Orlando Anderson, and Shakur's entourage earlier that evening. Davis has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge.
