Duane "Keffe D" Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in Tupac Shakur's 1996 killing and says he expects to win his freedom on appeal, claiming prosecutors and witnesses lied about him during the case.

Nearly 30 years after rap icon Tupac Shakur was killed, the long-awaited trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis is finally underway. Prosecutors allege Davis, a former Los Angeles gang leader, planned the drive-by shooting in retaliation after Tupac beat Davis' nephew at the MGM Grand hours earlier. Davis is charged with organizing the hit, not pulling the trigger. He pleaded not guilty. The central battle involves whether Keffe D is finally telling the truth or has spent years telling increasingly dramatic stories for money and attention.
