The trial of Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, accused of orchestrating the 1996 murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur, is set to begin in Clark County District Court in Las Vegas. Jury selection is scheduled for Monday, and the trial is expected to last about a month.
Davis, 63, faces a single charge of murder with a deadly weapon, allegedly with the intent to promote a criminal gang. Prosecutors will not argue that Davis pulled the trigger but will seek to demonstrate that he played a key role in orchestrating the events that led to Shakur's death.
Shakur was shot in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, while in a vehicle with music mogul Marion 'Suge' Knight. He died six days later from his injuries. The case remained unsolved for decades until recent developments, including Davis's memoir, brought renewed attention to the investigation. The trial is expected to feature a significant number of witnesses, including former officials and individuals connected to both Shakur and Davis.
一名被指控策划图帕克·沙库尔1996年杀害的男子正在受审
被指控策划1996年图帕克·沙库尔谋杀案的杜安·“凯菲·D”·戴维斯的审判将在拉斯维加斯的克拉克县地方法院开始。陪审团选择定于周一进行，审判预计将持续约一个月。
戴维斯，63岁，面临一项使用致命武器谋杀的指控，涉嫌以促进犯罪团伙为目的。检方不会主张戴维斯是开枪者，但将寻求证明他在策划导致沙库尔死亡的事件中发挥了关键作用。
沙库尔于1996年9月7日在拉斯维加斯被枪击，当时与音乐大亨马里昂·“苏格”·奈特同在一辆车内。他在受伤后六天去世。此案在几十年间未能解决，直到最近的发展，包括戴维斯的回忆录，使调查重新引起关注。审判预计将有大量证人作证，包括前官员和与沙库尔及戴维斯都有联系的人。
