“Ain’t really justice”: Tupac Shakur’s brother reveals whether Duane Davis’s punishment feels fair

Tupac Shakur's stepbrother Maurice Shakur reportedly opened up about the fairness of Duane Davis's sentencing. After the jury declared Duane guilty, Judge Carli Kierny sentenced him to 40 years to life in prison. Maurice said that his younger brother deserved respect and justice. Tupac's stepbrother also said that Duane's punishment didn't feel like real justice to him because true justice would mean having his brother back. According to ABC News, Maurice said,

"My little brother deserves respect. He deserves justice."

He added,

"It ain't really justice to me unless I get my brother back. You know, that's the justice I'm talking about."

As per CNN, Maurice revealed that Tupac Shakur's death was devastating and heartbreaking not only for the family but also for countless fans. He explained that Pac never had the chance to raise children, never saw his nieces and nephews grow up, and never had a trial. Maurice emphasized that all Pac received was a death sentence.

Is Keffe D's punishment fair? Maurice Shakur shared his perspective

30 years after Tupac Shakur's death shocked the entire nation, Duane Davis was sentenced on October 13, 2026, to forty years to life in prison for planning the famous rapper's murder. After the court's final judgment, Tupac's stepbrother, Maurice Shakur, said that he didn't want that kind of justice. He said that his brother deserved respect, and only bringing him back would give him justice.

The case remained unsolved for almost three decades, and the police never found the murder weapon. Witnesses also kept quiet because of the gang's 'street code,' and as the years went by, any physical evidence that might have helped solve the case slowly disappeared. Maurice said,

"Pac didn’t get a chance to have any kids. Pac didn’t see his nieces and nephews grow up, and Pac didn’t have a trial. All Pac got was a death sentence."

During the final trial, prosecutors said that even though Davis did not shoot the gun himself, he was the leader of the group that carried out the murder. In his memoir, he admitted that he gave them the gun that was used in the crime.
