Tupac Shakur’s dying words revealed in court by cop who rode with him in ambulance: Live updates

Garry Dale, a former Las Vegas Metro Police Department officer, revealed what Tupac told him as he lay dying in an ambulance on the night he was shot.

‘I was trying to talk to him to find out what had happened, gather information to see who had fired at them,’ he told prosecutor Marc DiGiacomo.

‘He was still talking, and I was trying to convince him to tell me the name of whoever his assailants were,’ the former officer continued.

Dale testified that Tupac Shakur responded to the effect of: ‘No, we’ll take care of it.’

The officer was then excused after a quick cross-examination by the defense yesterday.

Davis’ defense lawyer Michael Sanft asked Dale if he had written a report about his initial traffic stop of Suge Knight and Shakur’s vehicle that night, to which the cop replied: ‘No.’

The state called Michael Ingram, investigator for MGM Resorts, to the stand.

He confirmed security camera points at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on a map before grainy security footage was played to the court.

Ingram testified that surveillance video was recorded on VHS in 1996, which has deteriorated the quality of video over the years.

Jurors saw clips of Keffe D’s nephew, Orlando Anderson, being beat by Tupac’s associates inside the hotel.

Former crime scene analyst Thomas Kern was called to testify about Tupac’s autopsy that he was present for in 1996.

Following Kern’s testimony, the state called on Dr Lisa Gavin, a forensic pathologist medical examiner.

Although Dr Gavin was in medical school at the time of Tupac’s murder, she offered her professional opinion on his autopsy photographs.

The court saw pictures of Tupac’s body as Dr Gavin testified about the path of the bullets that entered his chest and abdomen that ultimately killed him.

Prosecutors noted that the rapper was ‘skinny’ when he was alive, but looked ‘bloated’ in death, which Dr Gavin confirmed was a result of expanded tissue.

The pictures were not broadcast to the public. Most of Tupac’s family members left the courtroom when the pictures were shown.

Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis is sat in court in a black suit and white button up shirt today.

After jurors were seated, prosecutors played a recording of Davis speaking to LAPD about the murder of Christopher Wallace a.k.a ‘Biggie Smalls’ to the court.

The man accused of orchestrating Tupac Shakur’s murder personally handed the gun to the rapper’s killers in a twisted revenge plot, prosecutors alleged on Monday as one of America’s most notorious cold cases finally went before a jury.

Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis, 63, did not pull the trigger during the infamous 1996 Las Vegas drive-by, prosecutors conceded, but they claim he planned the retaliation, supplied the weapon and set in motion the shooting that killed the 25-year-old hip-hop icon.

‘Let’s be clear, Duane Davis did not pull the trigger. But he did plan the shooting in retaliation for the beating of his nephew,’ Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal told jurors.

‘Remarkably, you will learn that from Duane Davis himself.’

Defense lawyer Michael Sanft said that his client Duane Davis was known to ‘bull****’ in court yesterday.

The defense argued that the detective who worked on the case did not work hard enough to verify his client’s accounts of Tupac’s murder in his 2019 memoir Compton Street Legend. ‘He treats that book like it’s fact,’ he said.

Sanft said the state relied heavily on questionable statements made by the defendant over the years.

Davis ‘was never charged for any of what he said during that time period, and it’s because they knew he was full of crap,’ Sanft continued. ‘Otherwise, they would have.’

‘The state cannot prove to you beyond a reasonable doubt the claim that Keffe had anything to do with first-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon.’
