Justice Delayed, But Not Forgotten: The Long Road to Accountability for Tupac's Murder The trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis, alleged mastermind behind the 1996 drive by shooting that killed hip hop icon Tupac Shakur, began in Las Vegas.
Three decades after the crime, Shakur's family and fans can only hope for a measure of justice. The case has been slow cooked over the years, with multiple investigations and re openings of old wounds.
In 2002, Davis's associates were cleared of charges due to lack of evidence. However, in recent years, the Clark County District Attorney's office pursued new leads and built a strong enough case for a trial.
