The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The murder trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, 63, began Monday in Las Vegas with opening statements over the 1996 drive-by shooting that killed Tupac Shakur. Davis has pleaded not guilty to murder with a deadly weapon with intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang; he is accused of orchestrating the shooting, not firing the gun. Prosecutors said Davis sought revenge after Shakur helped beat his nephew, Orlando Anderson, at the MGM Grand hours earlier and then supplied the firearm. The defense said Davis’ incriminating accounts were fiction, not reliable evidence.
