A Las Vegas jury convicted Duane "Keffe D" Davis, 63, of first-degree murder in connection with the September 7, 1996, drive-by shooting that killed rap icon Tupac Shakur nearly 30 years ago. Jurors deliberated for about three hours before returning the verdict.

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.

Suge Knight is calling BS on the Tupac Shakur murder trial, saying one of the witnesses taking the stand isn't telling the real story. Suge flat-out denies James McDonald's claim that he worked for Death Row Records. What's more, Suge claims McDonald is an FBI informant and says he was never his head of security, arguing there'd be plenty of proof if McDonald really worked for him.

The murder trial for alleged Tupac Shakur killer Duane "Keefe D" Davis rolls into its third day Wednesday and you can watch the courtroom action live right here.

During the first day of Duane Keefe D Davis' trial for allegedly murdering Tupac, former Las Vegas Metro Police Department Officer Garry Dale took the stand. Dale was in the ambulance with Tupac after he was shot on September 7, 1996, and said he asked Tupac multiple times who shot him, but the rapper kept his mouth shut and only responded by saying he and his crew would take care of it.
