A jury found Duane Davis guilty of the homicide of rapper Tupac Shakur, almost 30 years after the artist's death. Davis is a former member of a Los Angeles gang and was convicted for this crime that happened in 1996.

Throughout the trial, the defense insisted on the absence of material evidence against their client, arguing that there were no concrete elements linking Davis to the homicide.

Despite this defense argument, the jury decided unanimously for the guilt of Duane Davis, thus closing a case that remained unsolved for decades.

The trial brought back to the public eye one of the most mediatized cases in music history, with Davis's conviction marking the end of a long investigation into the circumstances that led to the death of Tupac Shakur.
