Duane Davis looks on during a break during closing arguments in his murder trial, related to the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur, at Clark County District Court at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It took three decades, but a Las Vegas jury has finally delivered a verdict in the murder rap of legend Tupac Shakur.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis, 63, was found guilty on Monday of first degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon in the 1996 shooting that killed Shakur.

The jury deliberated for just a few hours before returning the guilty verdict.

"Count one, murder with use of a deadly weapon, guilty of first-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon," the foreperson of the jury announced to the court.
