District Court Judge Carli Kierny (2L) speaks with Duane Davis' attorney Michael Sanft (L) and Chief Deputy District Attorneys Binu Palal (2R) and Marc DiGiacomo (R) during the first day of jury selection in Davis' murder trial over the 1996 shooting death of rapper Tupac Shakur at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on August 10, 2026. The trial of a former gang leader accused of orchestrating the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur finally began on August 10, 30 years after one of America's most high-profile unresolved killings. The proceedings, expected to last a month, will likely not make clear who fired the shots that killed the California hip-hop legend on the night of September 7, 1996, while he was in Las Vegas to see a Mike Tyson boxing match.
