A gang leader indicted on charges of ordering and conspiring to kill Tupac (2Pac·Tupac Shakur), a legendary rapper known as a legend of the American hip-hop scene, was sentenced to what amounts to life in prison 30 years after the crime.

According to foreign media reports including the AP News on the 13th (local time), a Clark County District Court in Nevada, U.S., sentenced Duaine Keef D Davis, who had been indicted for first-degree murder, to a minimum of 40 years in prison. At 63 years old this year, Davis has effectively received a life sentence.

Davis was indicted on charges of ordering and providing the weapon used to shoot and kill Tupac, who was 25 at the time, on a road in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996. He subsequently received a guilty verdict from a jury in August last year, 30 years after the incident occurred.

At the time, Tupac was riding in the passenger seat of a BMW sedan driven by a record producer when he was hit by bullets fired from a Cadillac that approached while they were waiting at a traffic light. He ultimately passed away six days later. The case had remained unsolved until Davis, who was the leader of the LA gang Southside Compton Crips, revealed the crime in an autobiography published in 2019, bringing the full picture to light.

In his autobiography, Davis stated, "I committed the act as revenge for Tupac's group beating up my nephew," and it is also known that he mentioned, "Puff Daddy offered to pay me if I killed Tupac." It was confirmed that Davis was riding in the Cadillac at the time and ordered the shooting by handing a gun to a passenger in the back seat.

The Prosecution Service stated on the day, "Regardless of the sentence the court imposes, Davis will die in prison," adding, "He tried to make money using the murder he committed. He deserves the maximum sentence," requesting that the court impose a heavy penalty.

Davis requested the return of personal belongings, including photos seized by police, but made no other significant remarks regarding his charges. However, his attorney stated that they would appeal, arguing that too much time had passed since the incident before he was indicted. Additionally, Tupac's siblings and other family members also attended the court hearing on the day.
