Some Tupac Shakur Family Members Step Out of Courtroom While Others Stay to Face Autopsy Photos
On Tuesday, prosecutors showed autopsy photos of rapper Tupac Shakur at the Las Vegas murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis, prompting some family members to leave the Clark County District Court Regional Justice Center courtroom.
Prosecutors allege Davis orchestrated the 1996 drive-by shooting to avenge an attack on his nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, at the MGM Grand casino following a Mike Tyson fight.
Forensic pathologist Dr. Lisa Gavin testified that Shakur sustained multiple chest wounds, including a collapsed lung, while jurors viewed images of the body excluded from the trial's video broadcast.
Shakur's cousin Zayd Akinyela remained in court to view the evidence, stating the details help his grief process after waiting "30 years to grieve properly" for the late rapper.
Defense attorney Michael Sanft dismissed the prosecution's narrative as "fiction," while Davis faces potential life imprisonment if convicted of murder with a deadly weapon tied to criminal gang activity.
