A man accused of orchestrating Tupac Shakur's killing is on trial

Key Points:

• Duane "Keffe D" Davis is on trial in Las Vegas, accused of orchestrating the 1996 shooting of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur, facing a murder charge related to promoting a criminal gang; he has pleaded not guilty.
• The trial will focus on Davis' alleged role in providing the gun and making calls that led to Shakur's death, rather than identifying the actual shooter, with Davis' nephew Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson long suspected but never charged.
• Prosecutors plan to call 35 to 45 witnesses, including family members, former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, gang affiliates, and law enforcement officials, to detail the events and gang rivalries linked to the case.
• Key eyewitness Marion "Suge" Knight, who was in the car with Shakur during the shooting and is currently incarcerated, has declined to testify, though his testimony could be pivotal; Sean "Diddy" Combs is not listed as a witness despite allegations in Davis' memoir.
• The trial, expected to last about a month, has drawn significant public interest, with limited courtroom seating and family members of Tupac among supporters present for jury selection.
