The man accused in the fatal shooting of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur was sentenced to 16 to 40 months in prison Tuesday for a jailhouse fight with another inmate.

Jurors in April found Duane “Keffe D” Davis , 62, guilty of counts of battery by a prisoner and challenging someone to a fight.

His murder trial is scheduled for February. In that case, Davis is accused of organizing the shooting that killed Shakur near the Strip in 1996 as retaliation for a fight involving Shakur and his nephew.

Davis’ attorney claimed that he acted in self-defense in the battery case.

He and another inmate, Rochlon Hamilton, 53, struck each other during a Dec. 23 altercation at the Clark County Detention Center that was captured in surveillance footage, according to prosecutors.
