The trial for Tupac Shakur's murder has commenced, with prosecutors alleging that the rapper's death was an act of gang revenge. According to CBS News, the prosecution described the 1996 drive-by shooting as a retaliatory action ordered by a mobster.

Jurors were informed that Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, who has been indicted in 2023, boasted about the killing, further emphasizing the motive behind the attack. This revelation was echoed by Vanguard, highlighting the long-unsolved nature of the case and the significant interest in the trial.

In response to these claims, Davis' attorney characterized the prosecution's narrative as 'fiction,' adding tension to the already high-profile proceedings, as reported by The Independent.
