Attorneys and court officials have finalized jury selection in the high-profile prosecution of a former gang leader facing charges related to Tupac Shakur’s 1994 murder. The panel consists of six male jurors and ten female jurors who will determine the defendant’s guilt or innocence in the long-dormant case.

The trial represents a significant development in one of hip-hop’s most infamous unsolved killings, which occurred nearly three decades ago. Legal proceedings are expected to examine evidence and testimony regarding allegations that the defendant orchestrated the shooting death of the rap icon.

The case has drawn international attention given Shakur’s cultural prominence and the decades-long gap between the crime and the criminal prosecution now underway.
