The long-awaited trial over Tupac Shakur's 1996 killing has finally begun in Las Vegas, nearly three decades after the rapper's death. Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, a former gang member who admitted being in the car involved in the drive-by shooting, faces murder charges. Shakur, who was 25, died six days after the attack. The case had remained unsolved for decades, becoming one of music's most enduring mysteries.
