Tupac Shakur autopsy photos shown at murder trial after some family members leave
Tupac Shakur's cousin said the autopsy photos made him feel "very angry, to say the least."
Some family members of the late Tupac Shakur exited the courtroom in Las Vegas prior to prosecutors unveiling autopsy photos during the trial of Duane Keffe D Davis. Davis is accused of orchestrating the 1996 drive-by shooting that claimed the rap mogul's life. The remaining family members witnessed the grim evidence of Shakur's autopsy, conducted by medical examiner Dr. Lisa Gavin.
Gavin revealed that Shakur suffered multiple gunshot wounds, with one bullet traveling through his chest, damaging his lung which was subsequently removed. Additional bullets inflicted damage to his intestines and other parts of his body. Jurors were shown surveillance footage of a violent altercation that occurred hours before Shakur's murder, where his entourage reportedly attacked Davis' nephew.
Davis, who has pleaded not guilty, faces life imprisonment if convicted of murder with a deadly weapon and intent to promote, further, or assist a criminal gang.
