District Court Judge Carli Kierny talks with Duane Davis' attorney, Michael Sanft (L), Chief Deputy District Attorneys Binu Palal and Marc DiGiacomo (R), during a bench conference during the fourth 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 13, 2026. The trial of the 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.
