A former gang leader has been charged with murder in the 1996 shooting death of rapper Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas, a prosecutor said Friday.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis was indicted by a grand jury in Nevada, prosecutor Marc DiGiacomo told a court.

"The presumption is great that he is responsible for the murder of Tupac Shakur, and he will be found guilty of murder with use of a deadly weapon," he said.
