Former gang leader on trial for Tupac Shakur murder

The trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis, a former gang leader, begins in Las Vegas on Monday, nearly 30 years after rapper Tupac Shakur was killed.

Davis, 63, faces life in prison if convicted, but the trial may not reveal who actually pulled the trigger.
