A Las Vegas jury on Monday convicted Duane “Keffe D” Davis of first-degree murder in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. Davis, 63, is the first person ever found guilty in the case. The panel needed less than three hours after an 11-day trial, NBC News reported.

The conviction ends a long period without any guilty verdicts in the matter. Davis now faces sentencing as the sole individual held accountable by a jury for the crime. The rapid decision by the panel followed extensive presentation of evidence during the trial period.

This outcome provides a measure of resolution in a case that has drawn significant public attention over the years. Authorities pursued the charges against Davis based on the available evidence presented to the court. The first-degree murder finding carries substantial legal consequences under Nevada law.

The trial proceedings concluded with the jury reaching its unanimous decision in a notably brief timeframe. Observers noted the efficiency of the deliberations relative to the length of the trial itself. Davis will remain in custody pending further court actions related to the verdict.

Prosecutors secured the conviction after building their case over the course of the eleven days. The result stands as a landmark in the history of the investigation into the 1996 incident. No other individuals have previously faced successful prosecution in connection with the killing.
