After nearly 30 years, someone is finally standing trial for one of hip-hop's most notorious unsolved killings. Join us as we break down everything you need to know about the Tupac Shakur murder trial, including what prosecutors allege, how the defense is pushing back, and what key evidence the jury will be allowed to hear. Duane "Keffe D" Davis — once leader of the South Side Compton Crips — faces one count of murder with a deadly weapon. Prosecutors claim he organized the retaliation and supplied the .40-calibre Glock used in the September 1996 shooting in Las Vegas. The case hinges largely on Davis's own public statements, interviews, and his memoir "Compton Street Legend." Do you think those words will seal his fate? Let us know in the comments!
