Duane "Keffe D" Davis was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison Tuesday in Las Vegas for the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.
The man who prosecutors say orchestrated the 1996 killing of rap icon Tupac Shakur, Duane "Keffe D" Davis, is on trial almost 30 years after the drive-by shooting in Las Vegas.
The former Los Angeles-area gang leader charged in Tupac Shakur's 1996 murder can serve house arrest ahead of his trial in June, a judge said Tuesday. His bail was set at $750,000.
Duane "Keffe D" Davis, 60, has been charged with one count of murder with use of a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement.
Shakur was gunned down in 1996 while waiting at a red light near the Las Vegas Strip in a BMW driven by Death Row Records founder Marion "Suge" Knight.
Tupac wore the custom, self-designed ring during his final public appearance at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards, a little over a week before his shooting death.
The items were taken from the home of Duane Keith Davis, 60, in Henderson, Nevada.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department searched a home in Henderson, less than 20 miles from the Las Vegas Strip where Shakur was gunned down in 1996.
The intergalactic revelation came during a recent interview with Death Row Records' former chief engineer, Rick Clifford.
