Trial for the murder of Tupac Shakur: Defendant found guilty

Nearly 30 years after the murder of US rapper Tupac Shakur, former gang leader Duane Davis has been found guilty. A jury of twelve in Las Vegas determined that the 63-year-old was responsible for the musician's death as the mastermind behind the killing. The jury retired to deliberate following closing arguments on Monday (local time) and reached a verdict within three hours.
