On September 7, 1996, hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur was shot in a drive-by after leaving a Mike Tyson boxing match in Las Vegas. He died six days later at the age of 25. For almost three decades, his murder remained one of America's most high-profile unsolved mysteries.

Yesterday, Duane "Keffe D" Davis was convicted of first-degree murder, with prosecutors saying he orchestrated the fatal drive-by shooting. Davis was the "shot caller" in the South Side Compton Grips gang. Davis reportedly wrote about the shooting in a memoir, which prosecutors say was an admission by Davis.

The jury deliberated for about three hours before convicting Davis. Shakur's family was in the courtroom with his sister, Sekyiwa Shakur, reportedly crying quietly when the verdict came down.

Here's video of when the verdict was read.

Davis is the only person who has been tried in connection to Shakur's murder.

Probably not the best strategy. The defense claimed the memoir was "pure fiction," but the jury disagreed.

Davis will be sentenced on October 13. He faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
