近三十年后,曾被指控策划说唱传奇人物图帕克·沙库尔(Tupac Shakur)谋杀案的前帮派首领杜安·"凯菲·D"·戴维斯正在拉斯维加斯法庭接受审判[1]。沙库尔于1996年9月7日晚11:55遭枪击,四天后于9月13日死亡[1]。现年63岁的戴维斯曾是南加州康普顿血帮(Compton Crips)的首领[1],他被控涉嫌提供枪支并下令杀害沙库尔,罪名包括"意图促进、进一步或协助有组织犯罪集团的谋杀罪"[1]。
戴维斯于2023年被逮捕[1]。在2019年出版的回忆录中,戴维斯曾描述了这起射击事件[1]。检控方计划传唤35至45名证人来证明其有罪[1],审判预计持续约一个月[1]。戴维斯辩称无罪,并要求由法官而非陪审团判刑[1]。当晚事件的另一名幸存目击者苏奇·奈特(Suge Knight)目前在狱中服刑28年[1]。
Duane "Keffe D" Davis, a 63-year-old former leader of the Compton Crips, is facing trial in Las Vegas for his alleged role in orchestrating the 1996 murder of rap legend Tupac Shakur [1]. Davis has been charged with murder with the intent to promote, further, or assist a criminal gang [1]. He pleaded not guilty and requested that a judge rather than a jury determine his sentence if convicted [1].
Tupac was shot on the evening of September 7, 1996, and died six days later on September 13 [1]. Davis was arrested in 2023 after describing the shooting in a memoir published in 2019 [1]. Prosecutors allege that Davis provided the gun used in the attack and ordered the killing [1]. The prosecution plans to call between 35 and 45 witnesses to prove their case, with jury selection beginning on Monday and the trial expected to last approximately one month [1]. Suge Knight, who was also present during the shooting and survived, is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence [1].
