The case of Tupac Shakur’s death

Sanft’s death occurred several weeks after his client was found guilty of organizing the murder of Tupac Shakur and sentenced to 40 years to life in prison. Davis said he would appeal the verdict.

Shakur was shot in 1996 while sitting in the passenger seat of an SUV driven by the head of his record company, Marion “Suge” Knight. Davis was arrested in 2023. Jurors concluded that he organized the killing in retaliation for Shakur and people from the rapper’s entourage beating his nephew at the MGM Grand casino in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996.
