History of the 90s: The Tupac Murder Trial

On Thursday at the Tupac Murder Trial the majority of the day was spent listening to a secret interview Duane Davis gave to police in 2008.
Jurors heard Davis describe in his own words how he orchestrated the drive-by shooting that killed Tupac. The candid three hour long interview is a major part of the state's case and mirrors what Davis wrote in his 2019 memoir Compton Street Legend.

A short day in court on Wednesday so there was only time to hear from two witnesses but the jury leaned a lot more about the man charged with orchestrating the 1996 drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur.
In addition to being a leader or shot caller in the Southside Crips street gang jurors also learned from two retired law enforcements officers that Duane Keefe D Davis is a convicted drug dealer who at one time bragged he had southside Compton sewn up meaning he controlled the drug traffic in that area.

Some tense moments in a Las Vegas courtroom on Tuesday as a former gang member took the stand at the trial of Duane "Keefe D" Davis.
James Macdonald made it very clear that he didn’t want to be there because even though he doesn’t like Keefe D he doesn’t want to be responsible for sending him to prison. Macdonald was one of eight witnesses called by the prosecution on the second day of testimony including a Clark county medical examiner, a first responder and Reggie Wright Jr. who was the head of Death Row security.
