But he did plan the shooting in retaliation of the beating of his nephew, Palal said. \u201cRemarkably, you will learn that from Duane Davis himself.\u201d<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The long-unsolved drive-by shooting gripped the hip-hop community, partly because no one was charged until\u00a0Davis\u00a0was indicted in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Shakur\u00a0remains a cultural icon\u00a0and is considered one of the most influential and versatile rappers of all time, despite dying at 25. He was\u00a0nominated for six Grammy Awards\u00a0and was inducted into the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, he received\u00a0a posthumous star\u00a0on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, had a\u00a0street in Oakland named in his honor\u00a0and inspired a character in the upcoming video game \u201cStranger than Heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A few fans lined up early Monday for a coveted seat in the courthouse to watch the first day of testimony.

Jean Carroll case<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Darryl Harper, a veteran music producer who collaborated with Shakur at Death Row Records on songs released after the 1996 shooting, said he booked a plane ticket as soon as the latest trial date was set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe became a personal friend of mine as I worked with him almost every day of his last days here,\u201d said Harper, who flew in from his home in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>Shakur\u2019s cousins Kendrick Lesane and William Lesane flew in from Atlanta last week. William Lesane said he wants someone held accountable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, justice has long left the station 30 years ago,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h4>Prosecutors allege Davis was the shot-caller<\/h4>\n<p>The gunfire that killed Shakur came from a white Cadillac that Davis was riding in with three others, all who have since died.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, Davis spoke to investigators looking into the deaths of Shakur and Notorious B.I.G., born Christopher Wallace. During the investigation, Davis was under an agreement that what he said about Shakur\u2019s killing couldn\u2019t be used against him. But nearly 10 years later, Davis published a book with those details and participated in media interviews in which he laid out his role in the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>The book and his public statements revived the Las Vegas investigation and became key pieces of evidence, prosecutors say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHad he decided to never write the book, he would not, probably, have ever been prosecuted for the crime,\u201d prosecutor Marc DiGiacomo\u00a0recently said.<\/p>\n<h4>Defense argues that the book is fictionalized<\/h4>\n<p>Sanft says Davis co-authored the book \u201cCompton Street Legend\u201d to make money, not to tell the truth. He argues it\u2019s impossible to tell which parts \u2014 if any \u2014 Davis wrote and which parts author Yusuf Jah penned.<\/p>\n<p>Jah, who is on the list of potential witnesses, recently told an investigator he didn\u2019t believe Davis fully read his own book, according to court documents.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors say the book is sensationalized but that they\u2019ll show \u201cwhat is true, what is exaggeration, and what is an outright lie,\u201d they wrote in court documents.<\/p>\n<p>Davis recently told Las Vegas television station Fox 5 that he actually wasn\u2019t there the night Shakur was shot. In his book though, he says he carpooled from Los Angeles to Las Vegas that night to watch the same boxing match Shakur attended. It describes where he stayed and the events before and after Shakur was shot.<\/p>\n<p><em>Associated Press journalists Ty ONeil in Las Vegas and John Seewer in Toledo, Ohio, contributed.<\/em><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=3819\">A man killed himself by walking in front of a Frontier flight at DIA.
