Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis, 63, who was convicted of murder for the 1996 death of rapper Tupac Shakur on Monday, has claimed he is innocent; pictured August 27 The former Crips boss could spend the rest of his life behind bars after he was found guilty of plotting the drive-by shooting that killed Shakur at age 25; The rapper pictured on August 15, 2296, roughly one month before his death’I’m innocent, man. They got an innocent man sitting in jail. I’ve got two grandsons that are going to the pros in football. They All-Americans — one of them is in high school. He has 25 scholarship offers, and the other one is in college. And when they get their millions, they’re coming to get me out of here,’ Davis said. Davis also added that he has ‘nothing to say’ to the rapper’s family and ‘didn’t like’ how they looked at him inside the courtroom. As the guilty verdict was read in court, Sekyiwa ‘Set’ Shakur, Shakur’s sister, appeared to cry quietly, CNN reported.Prosecutors argued Davis orchestrated the music artist’s murder after Shakur’s entourage attacked his nephew, Orlando ‘Baby Lane’ Anderson, a few hours earlier at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas following a Mike Tyson fight.Davis allegedly supplied the weapon and set in motion the shooting that killed the hip-hop icon, but did not pull the trigger.The prosecution pointed to a 2008 agreement Davis reached with federal investigators who were looking into the death of another rapper, Christopher Wallace, aka Biggie Smalls.Davis was approached about the murder of Wallace, but instead talked about the Shakur shooting.He had allegedly believed the deal, called a proffer, offered him immunity, but was not shielded from any future prosecution of state murder charges.Prosecutors said Davis was able to describe details of Shakur’s murder only a witness could provide – including the positions of who was inside the car used in the drive-by shooting and previous gang fights leading up to Shakur’s death. The defendant also published his memoir Compton Street Legend in 2019, in which he described how he played a role in Shakur’s murder, leading to a renewed investigation into the 1996 killing. In a lengthy interview with The Hollywood Reporter this week, Davis insisted, ‘I’m a good man, man. I’m a good person. I’m not no f***ing killer’; Pictured in court on Monday amid closing arguments in his murder trial Shakur, considered one of the most influential rappers of all time, was in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and stopped at a red light when a white Cadillac pulled up beside him, and shots were fired. He died six days later from his wounds; Pictured in 1996 A 1996 photo of Shakur (L) and Marion ‘Suge’ Knight was shown on screens during the closing arguments of the murder trial A 1996 photo of the bullet-ridden black BMW that Knight and Shakur were riding in at the time of the shooting was displayed in courtDavis has since said the published stories and interviews in which he took credit for Shakur’s murder were fictionalized to avoid indictment on other charges and to make money.In closing arguments on Monday, Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal described to jurors how Davis acquired a .40-caliber handgun and ‘went hunting’ for Shakur and Death Row Records co-founder Marion ‘Suge’ Knight.Palal acknowledged Davis’s accounts of the killing evolved over the years, but argued those differences reflected his changing motivations and efforts to protect himself. One critical detail, he said, remained consistent: Davis repeatedly placed himself inside the white Cadillac from which the shots were fired. ‘The core facts remain. The material facts remain,’ Palal said.But Davis’s defense attorney Michael Sanft challenged jurors to identify evidence outside his client’s own statements that placed him in Las Vegas or inside the Cadillac on the night Shakur was shot.He also noted there was an absence of surveillance footage, phone records and other evidence putting Davis in the city.
