The trial for the 1996 killing of rap legend Tupac Shakur began this week in Las Vegas with jury selection, nearly 30 years after the artist was gunned down near the Las Vegas Strip. Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, a former gang leader accused of orchestrating the fatal shooting, has pleaded not guilty to murder with a deadly weapon.
The charges against Davis include the allegation that the crime was committed with the intent to promote, further, or assist a criminal gang. The legal proceedings mark a major development in the decades-old unsolved murder case of one of hip-hop's most influential figures.
