30 years after his shocking murder, some closure for the family and friends of Tupac Shakur today. As Caroline Elliott reports, his murderer learned his fate today. Justice Tuesday in Las Vegas for the murder of a hip-hop icon. Dwayne Keith D. Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison for orchestrating the killing of Tupac Shakur. The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on September 7th, 1996. Shakur was gunned down in Las Vegas more than 30 years ago. After a white Cadillac pulled up alongside the black BMW, he was riding in and shots rang out. Tupac died in the hospital six days later at just 25 years old. His family spoke at Tuesday's hearing. That day, loss of Tupac, for a long time, Crip, the entire family emotionally and mentally. Shakur was considered one of the most influential rappers of the 90s, and his legacy and musical catalog have grown even after his death. His killing went unsolved for decades until Davis, a former Crip gang leader, openly spoke about his role in the murder in interviews and in a 2019 tell-all book, claiming he was in the white Cadillac and passed the gun to the back seat where the shots were fired. Much of the evidence used at trial relied on Davis's own statements, while his attorneys claimed he was exaggerating the story for financial gain. A jury deliberated for just three hours before reaching a guilty verdict. Three other people who were allegedly in the Cadillac with Davis have since died. Prosecutors say they don't have enough evidence to charge anyone else.
