Nearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was killed in a Las Vegas drive-by shooting, Duane 'Keffe D' Davis has become the first person convicted in the case. The 63-year-old former South Side Compton Crips leader was found guilty after prosecutors argued that he helped orchestrate the attack, although he was not accused of firing the fatal shots.

Davis is a former leader of the South Side Compton Crips, a Los Angeles street gang. His connection to the Tupac Shakur murder case stems partly from his relationship with his nephew, Orlando 'Baby Lane' Anderson, who was a member of the gang.
