Keefe D has officially been convicted of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon for the murder of Tupac Shakur. 30 years after the iconic rapper was slain in the streets of Las Vegas, there has been some semblance of justice. However, the stakes have allegedly left jurors terrified for their lives.
Per reports from James Schaeffer for 8 News Now, the jurors who passed down the guilty verdict were ushered across the street once the trial ended. Schaeffer detailed that they were brought to a parking garage along Third Street, though he and his cameraman were “warded off by the marshals who had escorted them across the street.” He explained that they reunited with friends and family who were waiting to pick them up. Schaeffer said the marshals stopped them and warned them.
“They’re scared,” a marshal was heard saying. “They are very, very nervous about this… ‘cause questions in the back of their head, they’re asking me, ‘What do we do if someone knocks on our door wearing red or blue?’”
Keefe D Found Guilty Of Tupac's Murder
Scaeffer also described some of the jurors as shaking after the trials as they were being driven away from the area. He also said that he approached prosecutors with a “simple question,” but they said they needed “permission from their boss.”
Keefe D’s conviction surrounds his role in the murder of Tupac Shakur. Although prosecutors didn’t accuse him of pulling the trigger, they claim that he orchestrated the shooting as a “shot caller” of the South Side Compton Crips. Keefe D already said that he planned to appeal his conviction. His sentencing is set for October 13th, and he’s currently facing life in prison.
