The Dark Brew of Gangland Justice The trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis, accused of orchestrating Tupac Shakur's 1996 murder in Las Vegas, has finally begun.
As the court hears testimony about a killing fueled by gang revenge and a mobster's boasts, it becomes clear that this case may shed new light on the toxic brew of violence and entitlement that characterized Los Angeles' gangland in the 1990s.
The prosecution's narrative portrays Duane Davis as a calculating leader who orchestrated Tupac's assassination after his nephew was humiliated by the rapper.
