Tupac Shakur's family exits courtroom as autopsy photos shown at trial

Key Points:

• During the Las Vegas trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, charged with orchestrating Tupac Shakur's 1996 murder, prosecutors presented graphic autopsy photos showing the rapper's fatal injuries, prompting some family members to leave the courtroom while others stayed for closure.
• Forensic pathologist Dr. Lisa Gavin detailed that Tupac was struck by three bullets, including one that collapsed and caused bleeding in his lung, leading to its removal during emergency surgery; additional bullets damaged his intestines and other organs.
• Surveillance footage was shown depicting a violent altercation at the MGM Grand involving Tupac’s entourage and Davis’ nephew Orlando Anderson, which prosecutors allege led to the retaliatory drive-by shooting that killed Tupac.
• Davis, who denies pulling the trigger, faces life imprisonment if convicted of murder with a deadly weapon intended to promote a criminal gang; his defense challenges the prosecution’s narrative as fabricated.
• Tupac’s cousin expressed that understanding the details of the shooting aids the grieving process and emphasized Tupac’s enduring legacy and spiritual presence despite the tragedy.
