In Monday’s testimony, a retired Las Vegas police officer said that he had asked Shakur who shot him as the rapper was being loaded into an ambulance and Shakur said something like “no, we’ll take care of it.” Shakur died in a hospital six days later.

Tupac Shakur refused to say who shot him as he lay bleeding in an ambulance, according to a cop who tried to press the iconic rapper for answers.

The prosecution's first witness was Garry Dale, who was working for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at the time of the shooting in September 1996.

Prosecutors allege Davis planned the shooting after his nephew Orlando Anderson was involved in a fight with Shakur in Las Vegas hours earlier. They argued Davis believed the attack on his nephew could not "go unanswered".

Davis spent the next two hours planning how to get even, said Palal, and Shakur was gunned down “in an act of revenge.”

Prosecutors allege Shakur was killed to avenge Shakur’s entourage attacking Davis’ nephew Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson a few hours earlier at the MGM Grand after a Mike Tyson fight.

“Dwane Davis did not pull the trigger, but what he did do was plan the retaliation for the beating of his nephew,” a prosecutor told the jury during opening arguments on Monday. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Shakur died at a hospital six days after he was shot. The images were not shown in the video feed from the trial.

Gavin was not at Shakur’s autopsy but was called as an expert witness because the examiner from 30 years ago has since died.

A few hours later, Shakur, riding in a black BMW with hip-hop mogul Marion “Suge” Knight, was gunned down by shots fired from a white Cadillac that had Davis, Anderson and two other men inside. Davis is not charged with pulling the trigger.

Davis, 63, could get life in prison if he’s convicted of murder with a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang. He has pleaded not guilty. His lawyer in the defense opening called the prosecution’s narrative “fiction.”

Davis is the first person to be indicted in the killing. He’s pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder with a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang in the rapper’s death.

Davis, 63, is charged with Shakur's murder. Prosecutors allege that although Davis did not fire the gun that killed the influential rapper, he allegedly orchestrated the killing. Davis has denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty.

Briefly a suspect in Notorious B.I.G.'s death Former Los Angeles Police Department detective Fred Miller — assigned to the investigation of the 1997 shooting death of the Notorious B.I.G., born Christopher Wallace — testified remotely and said that Davis had briefly been suspected in that shooting.

That shooting has already been discussed at this trial and likely will be again. A former Los Angeles police detective testified that Davis was briefly a suspect in the shooting of the rapper born Christopher Wallace, but was ruled out. The court day began Tuesday with a recording of Davis talking to detectives about the Wallace shooting. Associated Press Writer Rebecca Boone contributed from Boise, Idaho.

In 2009, he admitted to his role in the killing in an interview with Las Vegas police, Palal said.

He called one detective's work "biased," "sloppy" and "incomplete." Sanft said outside court at the end of the day that he thought the 30 years that had elapsed would help Davis.

Witnesses describe the night Tupac was shot Ingrid Stokes testified that she and her friends were heading home from Las Vegas when they encountered Shakur and Knight, who were friends with a woman in Stokes' group.
