Knight, who was in the car with Shakur when he was gunned down on Sept. 7, 1996, is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence after he was convicted of running over and killing Terry Carter following an argument on the set of "Straight Outta Compton."
Meanwhile, Davis has voiced that he is open to taking the stand himself.
"It's a very long witness list for both sides. It's multiple documents that we are combing through and each one of them has a very extensive list of different aspects of people associated either with the night itself or the investigation 30 years later," explained reporter Amalia Roy, who has been covering the courtroom proceedings.
FOX 5 Las Vegas previously reported others on the 11-page witness list include former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, current Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, Shakur’s family members, and "Compton Street Legend" co-author Yusuf Jah, who wrote the book with Davis.
The jury consists of six men and 10 women.
What's next:
The trial officially began on Monday and is expected to last up to six weeks.
