Ex-gang boss Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced for orchestrating Tupac Shakur’s murder | BBC News
Former gang boss Duane “Keffe D” Davis has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for orchestrating the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur in a drive-by shooting in 1996.
The key evidence in the case were Davis’ own words, in which he repeatedly and publicly acknowledged being inside the white Cadillac from where the deadly shots were fired.
A jury found him guilty in September of one count of murder with a deadly weapon. Davis has said he will appeal the verdict.
His conviction was the first in a cold case that has intrigued hip-hop fans for nearly 30 years.

Do you know your family medical history? For hundreds of thousands of care-experienced people, the answer isn’t always straightforward.
Missing medical and childhood information can affect access to healthcare, from identifying inherited conditions to getting an autism assessment.
In some cases, the consequences can be life-threatening, with people unaware of genetic conditions that could put them at serious risk.
BBC journalist Sophia Watkins travelled across the UK to meet adopted and care-experienced people, hearing how gaps in their records have affected their lives and what they’ve done to find answers.

Pope Leo XIV has been diagnosed with lung cancer and has had surgery to remove a lower lobe of his right lung, the Vatican has said in a medical bulletin.
The 71-year-old underwent a 90 minute operation on Tuesday at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital and was subsequently diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma.
The lump was first detected during what the Vatican has described as “routine checks”.
Earlier, large crowds gathered outside the hospital to greet the Pope, with some waiting for several hours. They cheered greetings and well wishes as he passed, while he waved and smiled back through the lowered back window of his car.
He was then met by staff on the hospital steps. “I’m sorry,” one of them commiserated, to which the Pope gave a smile and a shrug. “We’re here for you,” he was assured.
In its statement, the Vatican said the whole lower lobe of the Pope’s right lung was removed “to ensure the procedure was radical”.
A Vatican source told Agence France-Presse news agency that further tests are being carried out to see if there was any sign the cancer had spread.
Leo XIV announced news of his operation to the world on Sunday, without at that time confirming that he was suffering from cancer. Speaking from the balcony in St Peter’s Square after delivering the traditional Angelus blessing, he said the nodule, or growth, on his lung was “contained” and had been found “at a very early stage”, but that doctors had advised him to have it removed.
Nodules are quite common and not necessarily cancerous, but after it was examined the medical team confirmed it was pulmonary adenocarcinoma, “as suspected by pre-operative tests”, the Vatican said. It said that the pontiff, who is generally thought to be fit, had no symptoms of infection or illness.

A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent has shot a man in his car in the Bronx in New York City while the man’s five-year-old son sat in the backseat.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which runs ICE, confirmed an officer discharged his weapon while attempting to arrest a “criminal illegal alien” on Thursday.
The man, later identified as 28-year-old Oscar Belgal, was alive and at a local hospital, officials said.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the ICE officer fired “multiple rounds” into the car with a child inside, calling it an “unconscionable and incredibly serious situation”. The BBC has contacted DHS for comment about Mamdani’s remarks.
The DHS said Belgal was from the Dominican Republic and had “a prior criminal conviction for grand larceny and multiple prior arrests for assault, robbery, possession of drugs and weapons possession”.
It also claimed Belgal was associated with a transnational criminal group.

I used to be a male model in China until some hired goons from a rival agency attacked me and targeted my groin with heavy kicks. It ended my career and forced me to endure gender reassignment.

The issue is that sooo many women get plastic surgery these days, like duck lips, fake boobs face injections and all that other garbage. Its usually quite obvious as much as people think no one can tell and deny having it done. I've always thought it cheapens a women and makes them look like clowns, but thats just my opinion.

I love memes but I have always been questioning memes with real photos due to stuff like this. You are essentially having someone's photo, putting some caption or funny story on it and making that person a laughing stock for the entire world to ridicule (based on the meme) without ever stopping to think that, that person also has a career, dreams or loved ones. Whoever did this specific meme and even put that narration on it are vile people who obviously never had to face the consequence of their actions in their lives. This is less of a meme and more of slander and career sabotage.

I have no sympathy for her. She has weak character. 1. No such thing as bad publicity. You can use that notoriety to gain more attention and popularity. 2. Modeling isn't a real job. Just keep going. In no way is her life ruined, she's just obsessing over one stupid joke. Let it go. So many people have such horrible things happen to them and they just aren't things you can talk about on the news because people don't find it entertaining. Honestly, I'm very happy she's so upset about this. Welcome to the real world.

The BBC brainwashed 22M people by posting this 💀 the only reason people watch BBC is because it's state propaganda why would you watch if you got harrased by TV licence and forced to pay for the service? Makes ZERO sense that's like them making a LAW you have to purchase somthing you dont want from the shop every day.

My favorite artist back in those days (Hanna, 한나) committed suicide b/c of this I believe & I think I might as well be a victim of similar sort in a way – although I've never witnessed any meme's directed towards me. I can already imagine evil kids coming up with all kinds of nasty notions about me tho by the time I'm commenting here. …
