- Duane "Keffe D" Davis faces life in prison without parole as he is set to be sentenced for orchestrating the 1996 murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas.
- A jury found the 63-year-old former gang leader guilty of first-degree murder in August, making him the only person ever charged or convicted in the decades-old case.
- Prosecutors demonstrated that Davis supplied the weapon used in the drive-by shooting as retaliation for an earlier fight between Shakur's entourage and Davis' nephew.
- The conviction relied heavily on Davis' own public confessions, interviews, and a 2019 memoir, which his defense unsuccessfully argued were fabricated for financial gain.
- Shakur's family members are expected to address the court during Tuesday's sentencing, marking a long-awaited breakthrough after nearly 30 years without criminal accountability.
