Police in the US have charged a sixty-year-old former gang leader with the 1996 murder of hip-hop star Tupac Shakur, a breakthrough in the decades-long case still gripping the public.
The New York-born rapper was shot four times aged 25 in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas, which authorities have found was orchestrated by Duane "Keffe D" Davis.
Nevada's grand jury indicted Davis on Friday, on one count of murder with a deadly weapon.
