Former gang leader convicted in Tupac murder
A former gang leader has been convicted of arranging the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996 in Las Vegas, based on his confessions which helped shape the charges against him. The jury concluded that Duane Davis planned the attack and provided the weapon to his nephew, who carried out the shooting, which was believed to be retaliation for an earlier feud. Davis was one of the leaders of the South Side Compton Crips gang. The evidence relied mainly on his confessions, statements in interviews, and books, although his defense team argued that he was motivated by financial gain. Sentencing is expected to take place on October 13, and there is still the possibility of an appeal. Tupac Shakur died at the age of 25, at the height of his career, and his death had a profound impact on the hip-hop music world.
