Tupac Shakur: former gang boss to go on trial nearly 30 years after rapper’s killing
- The trial is to begin of a former gang leader over the decades-old killing of the rapper Tupac Shakur, one of the most high-profile unsolved murders in the US.
- The proceedings, which begin in Las Vegas on Monday and are expected to last a month, are unlikely to make clear who fired the shots that killed the musician on 7 September 1996 while he was in the city to see a Mike Tyson boxing match.
- Prosecutors aim to show that Duane “Keffe D” Davis, the one-time leader of the South Side Compton Crips, ordered the killing and provided the gun used to kill Shakur in a drive-by shooting.
