Nearly thirty years after a drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip silenced one of hip-hop's most consequential voices, the law has finally assembled a jury to reckon with the question of who set that violence in motion. Duane Davis, a 63-year-old former gang leader, stands accused not of pulling the trigger but of being the architect — the one who made the calls and provided the means. That a memoir and a series of interviews may now serve as the instruments of accountability reminds us that the stories we choose to tell about ourselves are rarely without consequence.
