The trial of the century which finally held someone responsible for the murder of Tupac Shakur will be available for all to see. Sky, a British media and telecommunications conglomerate owned by Comcast and headquartered in London, has commissioned an untitled documentary following the prosecution of Keefe D.
According to Sky, director Marian Mohamed, known for her debut feature Defending Digga, which she won a BAFTA for, filmed with the Shakur family while the case went on. The doc includes unreleased personal footage and family archives.
Mohammed reflected on why she believes the documentary needed to be made.
“I want this film to give a voice to a family who are not just grieving, but who have taken back agency in how the murder of Tupac is viewed,” Mohammed said. “Most importantly, I want this film to make people laugh and cry and argue. I want whoever watches this to emotionally connect with not just the story of how Tupac died but with who he was.”
The documentary is slated to drop in 2027.

Keefe D Gets Convicted
After being found guilty of first degree murder, Keefe D now faces life in prison. Prosecutors argued he was the lead orchestrator in the 1996 drive-by shooting that killed one of the greatest rappers of all time.
Other people involved, including the man Tupac got into a confrontation with Orlando Anderson, Keefe D’s nephew, have all died, leaving Keefe D as the sole survivor of the murder.
Some argue that Sean “P. Diddy” Combs should also be held accountable for his alleged involvement.
The prosecution’s case relied heavily on Keefe D obtaining a gun, getting a crew together and arming the shooter who killed Tupac on September 7, 1996. They say it was in retaliation of Tupac beating up Anderson outside the MGM Grand after a Mike Tyson boxing match.
The case had gone cold for years, but Davis said in multiple interviews he was involved with Pac’s death, going as far as to sell his memoir as telling the story of that fateful night.
The talking caught up with him, leading to his arrest.
