Thirty years after the assassination of rapper Tupac Shakur, Duane Davis, a former member of a Los Angeles gang, was found guilty of murder by a jury. The reopened case brought new light to one of the most mysterious crimes in American music history.

Duane Davis was identified as the mastermind behind Tupac Shakur's assassination. The prosecution argued during the trial that Davis ordered the attack on the rapper, which resulted in Shakur's death in 1996.

The trial represented the end of decades of investigations and speculation about the circumstances that led to the death of the rap icon. The jury's decision marked a significant moment for Tupac's family and fans, who had been waiting for justice for decades.
