Tupac Murder Convict Keffe D Transferred to Maximum-Security Prison
Key Points:
- Duane “Keffe D” Davis, convicted of orchestrating Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder, has been transferred to High Desert State Prison, a maximum-security facility near Las Vegas.
- Davis was sentenced on October 13 to 40 years to life in prison after a jury found him guilty of first-degree murder in August.
- Prosecutors argued Davis helped plan the drive-by shooting as retaliation for an earlier attack on his nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, by Tupac and his entourage.
- Tupac Shakur was shot on September 7, 1996, and died six days later at age 25; Davis is the only person ever charged in connection with the nearly three-decade-old case.
