The trial of Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, accused of orchestrating the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur, is set to begin with jury selection in Las Vegas. Davis faces one charge of murder with a deadly weapon, alleged to have been committed with the intent to assist a criminal gang.
Tupac Shakur was shot on September 7, 1996, while in a black BMW with music mogul Marion 'Suge' Knight. He died six days later from his injuries. The case remained unsolved for years until recent developments brought it back into the public eye.
Prosecutors are expected to present evidence that Davis was responsible for orchestrating the events leading to Shakur's death, though they are not arguing that he personally fired the weapon. The trial will feature a significant number of witnesses, including individuals connected to both Shakur and Davis, as well as experts in gang-related activities.
一名被控策划图帕克·沙库尔1996年杀害的男子正在受审
被控策划1996年饶舌歌手图帕克·沙库尔杀害的杜安·“凯菲·D”·戴维斯的审判将在拉斯维加斯开始陪审团筛选。戴维斯面临一项使用致命武器谋杀的指控，涉嫌意图协助一个犯罪团伙。
图帕克·沙库尔于1996年9月7日被枪击，当时他与音乐大亨马里昂·“苏格”·奈特一起坐在一辆黑色宝马车内。他在受伤后六天去世。该案多年未解，直到最近的发展使其重新引起公众关注。
检方预计将提供证据，证明戴维斯负责策划导致沙库尔死亡的事件，尽管他们并不主张他亲自开枪。审判将有大量证人出庭，包括与沙库尔和戴维斯相关的人，以及帮派活动方面的专家。
