The trial has begun in Las Vegas for a man accused of orchestrating the killing of Tupac Shakur. A prosecutor told jurors during opening statements Monday that while few have been willing to speak about the 1996 shooting, Duane “Keffe D” Davis is the “one person who has a hard time being silent.” Davis was charged with murder nearly 30 years after the drive-by shooting.

His attorney argues the book was fictionalized to make a profit Davis has pleaded not guilty.
