30 years after the murder of Tupac Shakur, the trial of a former gang leader accused of orchestrating the murder of one of the most famous rappers of all time begins in Las Vegas.

The trial is not necessarily expected to determine who shot Shakur on the night of September 7, 1996, when the rapper was in Las Vegas to watch a Mike Tyson boxing match.

However, the prosecution aims to prove that Duane “Keffe D” Davis, former leader of the South Side Compton Crips gang, ordered the killing and provided the weapon used in the crime. Davis, now 63, faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The murder of Tupac remains one of the most famous unsolved crimes in the United States. Shakur, killed at the age of 25, was one of the central figures in the famous rivalry between the West Coast and East Coast rap scenes of the United States.

Known for songs like "California Love" and the album "All Eyez on Me," Tupac quickly became one of the iconic figures of Californian rap after signing with Death Row Records in Los Angeles.

The process is also expected to bring back into focus the conflict between Death Row Records, founded by Marion "Suge" Knight, and Bad Boy Records, the company created on the East Coast by Sean "P. Diddy" Combs.

Christopher “The Notorious BIG” Wallace, a rapper who worked with Bad Boy Records, was murdered six months after Shakur’s death.

According to the indictment, Death Row Records was protected by the Piru Mob, a Los Angeles gang with which Suge Knight was also associated. Bad Boy Records, meanwhile, had hired the rival South Side Compton Crips, led by Davis, for protection.

The incident that led to the murder, according to prosecutors, occurred after a Mike Tyson fight at the MGM Grand casino. Suge Knight and Tupac Shakur got into a fight with Davis' nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, after the latter had forcibly taken a medallion from a Death Row employee.

According to the indictment, Davis then organized a retaliatory attack on Shakur.
