One of music's most infamous cold cases just closed. A Las Vegas jury found Duane 'Keffe D' Davis guilty of murder with use of a deadly weapon in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. Three hours. That's all the jury needed after a day of closing arguments, Rolling Stone reports.

The verdict lands nearly 30 years after the drive-by shooting on the Las Vegas Strip shocked the world. It closes one of pop culture's most famous unsolved murders -- finally. Fans spent three decades trading theories about one of music's most iconic figures. Now the mystery has an answer -- in court. Davis will be sentenced in October, per Rolling Stone.
