A Las Vegas jury has found former South Side Compton Crips gang leader, Duane Keith Davis, guilty of the murder of Tupac Shakur, bringing the case to a close nearly 30 years after the famous rapper was gunned down.

The jury took about three hours to reach a guilty verdict in a case that relied heavily on multiple confessions from Davis himself, including his description of the killing in the 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend, the Guardian UK reported this morning.
