Duane "Keffe D" Davis, the man found guilty of orchestrating the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, has been moved to a maximum-security facility in the Las Vegas area. The transfer occurred just weeks after Davis was sentenced to spend decades behind bars for his role in the crime.
According to reports from Las Vegas' 8 News Now, Davis was relocated from a local jail to High Desert State Prison following his conviction and sentencing earlier this month. The 63-year-old received a sentence ranging from 40 years to life on October 13, after a jury returned a guilty verdict for first-degree murder in August.
Prosecutors argued that Davis helped organize the fatal drive-by shooting as an act of retaliation. They claimed the attack was motivated by an earlier incident where Tupac and members of his entourage assaulted Davis' nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Tupac Shakur was shot while riding in a BMW with Suge Knight on September 7, 1996. The rapper succumbed to his injuries six days later at the age of 25. Davis remains the only individual ever charged in connection with the murder, a case that remained unsolved for nearly three decades.
Despite the conviction, Davis' legal team has maintained his innocence and announced plans to appeal the verdict.
