TO LAS VEGAS AND A COURT THERE AND A TRIAL THAT COULD END A 30-YEAR-OLD MYSTERY. WHO KILLED RAP ICON TUPAC SHAKUR. TODAY, OPENING STATEMENTS IN THE CASE AGAINST ONE OF THE MEN PROSECUTORS SAY. WAS BEHIND IT. HERE'S DANA GRIFFIN. TONIGHT PROSECUTORS LAYING OUT A ROADMAP OF MURDER NEARLY 3. DECADES SINCE THE DEATH OF RAP ICON TUPAC SHAKUR. IN A DRIVE-BY SHOOTING. FROM A. CADILLAC. PROSECUTORS SAY DWAYNE KEEFEE D.

DAVIS, THE SOLE LIVING OCCUPANT INSIDE THAT CADILLAC, ORCHESTRATED THE KILLING. NOW. LET'S BE CLEAR. DWAYNE DAVIS DID NOT PULL THE TRIGGER. BUT WHAT HE DID DO. WAS PLAN THE RETALIATION. FOR THE BEATING OF HIS NEPHEW, RETALIATION FOR THIS BRAWL CAPTURED ON SURVEILLANCE VIDEO. HOURS EARLIER INSIDE A LAS VEGAS CASINO. AUTHORITIES SAY. YOU SEE TUPAC AND DEATH ROW EXECUTIVE SUGE. KNIGHT BEATING UP DAVIS'S NEPHEW ORLANDO ANDERSON,

PO SAY OVER A STOLEN NECKLACE EARLIER THAT SUMMER. ARE. TODAY PROSECUTORS USING DAVIS'S OWN WORDS AGAINST HIM, PLAYING A SERIES OF RECORDED INTERVIEWS AND QUOTING FROM HIS OWN MEMOIR. IN THE BOOK, HE SAYS, THEN JUMPING ON MY NEPHEW GAVE US THE ULTIMATE GREEN LIGHT TO DO SOMETHING TO THEIR. THE 63-YEAR-OLD WAS ARRESTED IN 2023 AND HAS PLED NOT GUILTY. HIS DEFENSE TEAM ARGUES HIS PAST STATEMENTS WERE NOT RELIABLE, AND DAVIS WAS KNOWN TO BS.

WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND IS THAT THE. STATE CANNOT PROVE TO YOU BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT. THE CLAIM THAT. A FORMER VEGAS OFFICER TESTIFYING THIS WAS TUPAC'S ANSWER. INSIDE THE AMBULANCE WHEN ASKED WHO SHOT HIM. AND DID HE RESPOND? YES, HE RESPONDED, NO, NO, WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. NO, WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT. NOW IT'S UP TO A JURY TO DECIDE WHO'S RESPONSIBLE. FOR ONE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY'S GREATEST UNSOLVED MURDERS.

AND DANA DAVIS HAS ARGUED THAT HE PREVIOUSLY. SIGNED IMMUNITY DEALS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT PROTECTED HIM. FROM PROSECUTION. WHY DO THOSE NOT APPLY HERE? SO DAVIS HAD AN AGREEMENT WITH LOS ANGELES POLICE CONNECTED TO THEIR INVESTIGATION. INTO THE DEATH OF RAPPER BIGGIE SMALLS, BUT PROSECUTORS ARGUED THAT DAVIS, TALKING PUBLICLY ABOUT HIS INVOLVEMENT IN TUPAC'S CASE, MADE THAT AGREEMENT NO LONGER VALID, AND SOME LEGAL EXPERTS SAY HAD DAVIS KEPT HIS MOUTH CLOSED,

HE WOULDN'T. BE ON TRIAL RIGHT NOW. TOM. DANA GRIFFIN WATCHING THAT TRIAL FOR US. DANA, THANK YOU. WE WANT TO HEAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE NOW BECAUSE. A DEADLINE CAME AND WENT TODAY FOR THE US AND IRAN.

IRAN AGREED TO BY PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE IRANIAN REGIME. HAS NOW COME AND GONE. THE PRESIDENT PRESSED TODAY ON IF THE CONFLICT'S CONCLUSION IS ANY CLOSER.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE THE KIND OF A DEAL THAT I FEEL IS NECESSARY. THE DEADLINE WAS SET AS PART OF THE. CEASEFIRE THE PRESIDENT SIGNED AT VERSAILLES IN JUNE. WE REACHED AN AGREEMENT WITH IRAN THAT. ACHIEVES. EVERYTHING WE SET OUT TO ACCOMPLISH, BUT BOTH SIDES WERE SOON AGAIN TRADING STRIKES. AND ACCUSING EACH OTHER OF VIOLATING THE DEAL, KEEPING GAS PRICES HOVERING ABOVE $4 A GALLON. AND LARGELY HALTING TRAFFIC THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ,

WITH JUST 3 SHIPS TRACKED PASSING SUNDAY. TODAY'S SPECIAL ENVOY JARED KUSHNER SAYING THE. PRESIDENT IS STILL OPEN TO AN AGREEMENT. HE'LL MAKE.

WITH IRAN ON THE STRAIT THAT INTERFERES WITH THE US PEACE PROCESS, QUOTE, WE'LL BOMB THE S OUT OF THEM, AND BLASTING ANOTHER KEY ALLY, SOUTH KOREA,

OVER WHAT HE SAID WAS ITS UNWILLINGNESS TO HELP DEITH IRAN. THEY SAID, WAIT A MINUTE, WE HAVE 39,000 SOLDIERS OVER THERE. GUARDING YOU FROM. KIM JONG UN, YOUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR. AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HELP US ON A VERY EASY. MILITARY OPERATION. IN IRAN. THAT'S STRANGE. THE PRESIDENT ALSO CALLING FOR JOINT MILITARY EXERCISES.
