Duane Davis, a former gang member known as Keffe D, was indicted on one count of murder with a deadly weapon by a Nevada grand jury Friday.
The victim: Tupac Shakur.
It’s a case that has made national headlines since 1996 when it took place and has been the subject of a multitude of documentaries and scripted projects.
Dear Mama: The Saga of Afeni and Tupac Shakur, directed by Allen Hughes, one-time friend and one-time foe of Tupac’s, was the most high-profile recent series, having premiered in April. The series focuses on Tupac’s relationship with his mother Afeni, a Black Panther activist, rather than his death.
Hughes told Deadline that today was a “great day for the family.”
He revealed that when he was pitching the project around Hollywood, he had a different subtitle: This Is Not A Murder Investigation.
“[Dear Mama] was very matter of fact, very frank about what happened.

Interview conducted by Tom Stockman November 8th, 2011
Buchenwald was a German Nazi concentration camp built near Weimar Germany July 1937. It was the largest concentration camp on German soil and even though it was technically not an extermination camp, it was a site of an extraordinary number of deaths. Although it was highly unusual for the Germans to send Allied Pows to concentration camps, Buchenwald held a group of 168 aviators for two months in 1944.These soldiers were from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. They all arrived at Buchenwald in August of 1944.All these airmen were in planes that had crash landed into Nazi-occupied France. Though initially rescued and hidden by French citizens, many were turned over to the Nazis by Jacques Desoubrie, a French traitor who was actually a double-agent for the Gestapo.
