Nearly three decades after Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in Las Vegas, the man convicted of orchestrating his murder has been transferred to a maximum-security prison.

Duane “Keffe D” Davis, 63, was moved from a Las Vegas jail to High Desert State Prison in Nevada following his first-degree murder conviction, according to local outlet 8 News Now.

The transfer comes just weeks after Davis was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026, bringing a major development in one of hip-hop’s most infamous murder cases.

A jury found Davis guilty of first-degree murder in August, concluding that he played a role in organizing the September 7, 1996, drive-by shooting that ultimately claimed Tupac’s life.

Prosecutors argued that the shooting was retaliation for an earlier confrontation at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where Tupac and members of his entourage attacked Davis’ nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson.

Later that night, Tupac was riding in a BMW driven by Death Row Records cofounder Suge Knight when gunfire erupted near the Las Vegas Strip.

The legendary rapper was struck multiple times and died six days later, on September 13, 1996, at just 25 years old.

Despite decades of investigations, speculation and public scrutiny, Davis was the only person ever criminally charged in connection with Tupac’s murder.

His conviction marked a significant turning point in a case that had remained unresolved for nearly 30 years.

However, the legal battle may not be over.

Davis’ attorneys continue to maintain his innocence and have indicated plans to appeal the conviction.
