Tupac: Day 2

19 August 2026

Available for over a year

Day two of the trial takes a dramatic turn as James “Mob James” McDonald, a former Mob Piru member who worked security for Suge Knight, takes the stand in the Tupac Murder Trial.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis is charged with murder and accused of orchestrating Shakur's death. He has denied the charges and pleaded not guilty.

McDonald tells the court he does not want to testify and clashes repeatedly with defence lawyer Michael Sanft during a tense cross-examination.

The jury is also shown graphic autopsy photographs as a medical examiner gives evidence about Tupac’s fatal gunshot wounds.

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty is joined by Kathy Kenzora, host of the History of the Nineties podcast, to break down the key moments from court.

For Fame Under Fire: The Tupac Murder Trial Anoushka will be in the Las Vegas courtoom every day to bring you updates. Make sure you lock in so you don’t miss a thing.
