The trial of Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, accused of orchestrating the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, commenced this week with the selection of jurors in Las Vegas, nearly 30 years after Shakur was shot near the Las Vegas Strip.
Davis, 63, has pleaded not guilty to murder with a deadly weapon intended to promote a criminal gang. The jury selection process began on Monday, with seven potential jurors asked to return on Thursday afternoon as the selection continues through Tuesday and Wednesday.
Prosecutors are not accusing Davis of pulling the trigger that night but plan to show that he made calls leading to Shakur's death and provided the weapon.
