00:02A Las Vegas jury on Monday found former gang leader Dwayne Keffy D. Davis guilty of murdering legendary hip-hop
00:10artist Tupac Shakur, bringing the decades-old cold case closer to a conclusion.
00:16Sixty-three-year-old Davis was charged in Nevada's Clark County with one count of murder with a deadly weapon
00:22and had pleaded not guilty.
00:23The 12-member jury unanimously found him guilty of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon after nearly three hours
00:30of deliberation.
00:32The offense carries a potential sentence of life in prison without parole.
00:36Davis told the judge he planned to appeal the verdict.
00:39A Shakur supporter and former Digital Underground member welcomed the guilty verdict, describing it as a long-awaited day of
00:47justice for the rap icon.
00:49Outside looking in, this is a great moment, and it is a great moment.
00:52Please don't get me wrong, but there's more people that have to pay for the death of Tupac.
00:58So Keffy D.'s not the lone soldier here.
01:01It's a bigger conspiracy.
01:03Davis was accused of leading a group of men in the September 1996 killing of 25-year-old Shakur, allegedly
01:10in retaliation for the beating of his nephew at a Las Vegas casino.
01:15Prosecutors relied heavily on Davis' media appearances, memoir, and recorded conversations, in which he described events leading up to the
01:23shooting.
01:24Although prosecutors did not identify the gunman, Davis could be convicted under Nevada law based on his alleged role in
01:32orchestrating the killing.
01:34Kick that foot up.
01:36You ready?
01:37I'm a pro, dude.
01:38You got it?
01:39Alright.
01:43You got it?
01:43You
