Las Vegas

A member of Tupac Shakur's entourage said he was threatened with contempt of court if he did not testify in the murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis.

After he was shot multiple times, Tupac Shakur refused to cooperate with police and told an officer "we'll take care of it", an officer testified.

The BBC's Shaimaa Khalil breaks down the key arguments as the long-awaited trial gets under way.

Opening statements in the trial transported a Las Vegas jury back in time to 1990s hip-hop, filled with rap feuds, gang street violence and a distrust in police.

The BBC's Shaimaa Khalil, who is at the trial for the murder of Tupac Shakur, explains.

Defence attorney Michael Sanft outlines the facts of the case, then states that there is no evidence to establish that Davis was even in Las Vegas at the time of the murder.

Prosecutors allege that although Duane "Keffe D" Davis did not himself fire the gun that shot and killed Shakur, he was the ringleader of the group responsible.
