Witness	Role	Day	Testimony, in one line
Brent Becker	Retired LVMPD homicide detective	Day 1	Described the white Cadillac witnesses saw and forensic work pointing to a .40-caliber Glock, and acknowledged nobody ever picked a shooter out of a photo lineup.
Daryn Dupree	LAPD detective	Day 3	Began describing the 2008 interview, including Davis's claim that Sean Combs said "I want to get rid of those dudes" and Davis's line about the Wallace killing, "We did the other one."
Daryn Dupree	LAPD detective	Day 4	Continued on the 2008 interview and told jurors, "Everybody was a suspect at that time."
Dean O'Kelly	Former LVMPD gang detective	Day 2	Handled crime scene evidence and told jurors the weapon was "a Glock 40."
Denvonta Lee	Former associate of Davis	Day 4	Testified under court order that he was initiated into the South Side Crips, and identified Mob Piru — the set tied to Death Row Records, Suge Knight and Shakur — as the rival.
Dr. Lisa Gavin	Clark County medical examiner	Day 2	Testified Shakur died of gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen and that "the manner of death was homicide."
Fred Miller	Former LAPD detective	Day 1	Explained how Davis first surfaced through the separate investigation into the killing of Christopher "Biggie" Wallace.
Garry Dale	Former Las Vegas Metro police officer	Day 1	Stopped Shakur's black BMW earlier that night over a missing plate, then rode with him in the ambulance; asked who shot him, Shakur said "No, we'll take care of it."
Greg Kading	Former LAPD detective, federal task force	Day 4	Testified about conducting the 2008 interview with Davis, in which Davis named Anderson as the shooter.
Ingrid Stokes	Eyewitness, driving near the shooting	Day 1	Saw Suge Knight at the wheel with Shakur beside him, heard the gunfire and ducked — she never saw who was shooting.
James McDonald	Head of security at Club 662	Day 2	Testified only under court order; said "662" spells MOB on a phone keypad, and framed the feud as personal — "Wasn't our beef. Was between Suge Knight and Keffe D" — adding he did not want to "send another Black man to prison."
Kenneth Rios	Former LVMPD sergeant	Day 2	Responded to the lobby fight; Orlando Anderson refused medical care and declined to press charges, so no report was written.
Leonard Jefferson	Photographer	Day 5	Took the last known photograph of Shakur alive, at a stoplight on the Strip; said "I did not" when asked whether he staged it.
Mario Diaz	Director, BET's "Death Row Chronicles"	Day 5	Testified Davis was paid to appear and the series was unscripted, with no questions given in advance; the defense noted the consultants were the same investigators who wrote a book about the case.
Michael Dorsey	True-crime producer, co-author of a book on the investigation	Day 5	Worked on the documentary; confirmed Sean Combs' lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter to Apple TV over the material, though no lawsuit followed.
Michael Ingram	MGM Grand investigator	Day 2	Authenticated the 1996 casino surveillance tapes and explained the hotel reused its tapes back then, which limits what survives.
Reggie Wright Jr.	Former head of Death Row Records security	Day 2	Said Death Row was 95% of his security business and answered "Absolutely not" when asked whether he had anything to do with the killing.
Thomas Kern	LVMPD crime scene analyst	Day 2	Attended the 1996 autopsy and authenticated the photographs shown to jurors, originally shot on Polaroid film.
Wade Lee	Retired FBI special agent	Day 3	Arrested Davis on drug charges in the late 1990s; testified Davis denied knowing who killed Shakur but said he was mad enough to retaliate — in Compton, not Las Vegas.
William Heidmeyer	Former security officer, Maxim Hotel	Day 2	Testified about the night's events around the hotel.
