Episode Details

The trial for Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder is finally underway in Las Vegas, centering on Duane “Keffe D” Davis, accused of orchestrating the fatal drive-by shooting. Prosecutors allege Davis ordered the hit after Tupac’s crew beat his nephew earlier that night — a feud rooted in East Coast vs. West Coast hip-hop rivalries. Though Davis has previously confessed in interviews and his memoir, he now denies involvement, claiming he handed a gun to someone in the backseat of a white Cadillac but didn’t pull the trigger. His memoir reignited the case, offering new details while leaving key questions unanswered. Now 63, Davis faces life in prison if convicted, as his defense plans to challenge the confessions — possibly arguing they were staged for publicity or written by a ghostwriter. With over a month of testimony ahead, this decades-old cold case could finally deliver justice — or expose more secrets from one of hip-hop’s most tragic chapters.
