Thirty years after Tupac Shakur's death, a jury finally delivered a verdict. Duane 'Keffe D' Davis was found guilty of first-degree murder, closing one of music's most infamous cold cases. The rest of the day's news feels like a footnote.
Every outlet is covering the same story today: the conviction of the man accused of orchestrating Tupac Shakur's 1996 murder. Here's what the reporting adds.
Rolling Stone has the cleanest write-up of the verdict: Davis was convicted after three hours of jury deliberation. He faces life without parole at sentencing on October 13.
BBC frames this as the first conviction in the case, noting prosecutors relied on Davis's own 2019 memoir and his admission of being in the car during the drive-by.
Deadline adds the detail that Davis immediately said he would appeal. The piece also notes he was arrested in late 2023, meaning this moved fast once charges were filed.
Stereogum's write-up emphasizes the prosecution's use of Davis's own words against him, specifically his 2019 book where he described the events leading to the shooting.
Two shows wrapped up this week, marking shifts in daytime TV and festival circuits.
Kelly Clarkson ended her seven-season talk show run by singing 'Golden' from the 'KPop Demon Hunters' soundtrack. It was the most requested Kellyoke song ever.
Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy Chain Fields festival raised $20 million for women's charities. She called it the greatest joy of her career and hinted at a return next year.
