Nearly 30 years after the death of rapper Tupac Shakur, a guilty verdict for the killer has been delivered.

Former gang boss Duane 'Keffe D' Davis has been found guilty of orchestrating the crime back in 1996, and recounted the shooting in a 2019 memoir. 

True crime documentarian Mike Dorsey says Davis didn't pull the trigger, but he supplied the gun that his nephew Orlando Anderson used in the crime. 

"Tupac basically punched the wrong guy that night, and that guy came back and got him."
