A man charged with murder in connection to the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur is slated to appear in court Wednesday.
USA TODAY will be providing live coverage beginning at 11:30 a.m. ET/8:30 a.m. PT. You can watch the video at the top of the page or on USA TODAY's YouTube channel.
In a long-awaited breakthrough in the case, the Las Vegas Police Department on Friday arrested Duane "Keffe D" Davis in the the Sept. 7, 1996, fatal drive-by shooting of Shakur. A Nevada grand jury indicted Davis in Shakur's death, prosecutors announced Friday, charging Davis with murder with use of a deadly weapon in the killing of the rapper.
Shakur, considered one of the most prolific and influential rappers of his time, died at University Medical Center in Las Vegas seven days after the shooting. He was 25.

Davis, 60, is charged with one count of murder with use of a deadly weapon and with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang, Clark County District Attorney Steven B. Wolfson told reporters during a Friday press conference.
Davis has been on police radar since the crime, having admitted to being inside a Cadillac where shots were fired that night near Las Vegas Boulevard.

During a press conference in Las Vegas Friday, LVPD homicide Lt. Jason Johansson said the shooting took place as Shakur headed to a nightclub, after watching Mike Tyson knock out Bruce Seldon in a championship fight at the MGM Grand.
Shakur was riding in a BMW driven by Marion "Suge" Knight when the Cadillac with four men inside pulled alongside them at a red light; one person opened fire, riddling the passenger side of Knight's car with bullets, police said. Shakur's fatal shooting kicked off a decades-long mystery that stumped and enraptured investigators and the public alike.

Shakur was heavily involved in the East Coast-West Coast rivalry of the era, igniting tensions between himself and rival the Notorious B.I.G., who died in a separate shooting one year after Shakur's slaying.
Before the recent arrest, police raided Davis' home in July and collected an assortment of items, including computers, a cell phone, a hard drive and several .40-caliber bullets.
