LOS ANGELES (AFP) - A former gang member who had long boasted of his involvement in the murder of rap legend Tupac Shakur a quarter of a century ago pleaded not guilty in a US court on Thursday.

Duane "Keefe D" Davis, 60, was charged in September over the killing, despite not being the man wielding the weapon in the gang feud in Las Vegas.

The 60-year-old Davis, a former member of Compton's South Side Crips gang, has long acknowledged his involvement in the slaying, boasting he was the"on-site commander" in the effort to kill Shakur and Death Row Records boss Marion"Suge" Knight in revenge for an assault on his nephew. Shakur, the best-selling hip-hop artist behind hits such as"California Love,""Changes," and"Dear Mama," was a major star in the world of rap when he was gunned down on September 7, 1996. He was just 25.

Shortly after Davis was arrested, prosecutors said that what happened on the night of the killing had been largely understood for many years, but they had not had sufficient admissible evidence to advance the case.
