Did the medical examiner show crime scene photo of 'dead' victim?

May 2024 · 3 minute read

The medical examiner who performed the autopsy on Anthony Williams, aka YNW SakChaser – one of two the victims YNW Melly allegedly killed – confirmed that multiple shots were fired at him after the initial gunshot and one TikTok falsely claims that she produced the “dead” photos of one of the victims resulting in many thinking it’s from the actual crime scene.

The Florida rapper is facing two counts of first-degree murder for allegedly shooting his childhood friends to death in 2018, for which he was arrested in 2019. The state prosecutors have produced evidence before the court to prove YNW Melly was in the same car as the victims at the time of the shooting. The medical examiner also confirmed that Anthony had passed away before he was brought to the hospital.

Does the medical examiner show the actual crime scene photo of ‘dead’ victim?

No, the medical examiner doesn’t show the crime scene image of the dead victim. During the trial, the medical examiner who reportedly performed on Anthony, produced a picture of the victim, showing only his face, before delving into the details of the shooting and subsequent death.

However, one TikTok that shows a part of her testimony falsely claims that she shows the “dead victim’s” picture, implying its form the actual crime scene or taken after he was moved, but neither is true.

The photo of the victim, in fact, consisted of the case number, which is a standard method of reference. But, the overlay text in the TikTok showing the courtroom footage claims: “Witness shows the d*ad photo of one of the victims in YNW Melly case.”

Detective goes through photos of vehicle allegedly involved in the shooting

A crime scene investigator reviewed the pictures of the car allegedly involved in the shooting that killed two people.

The pictures produced in the court showed multiple pieces of evidence sealed on the damaged vehicle, also used for documentation.

The video proceeds to show the doors of the car struck by bullets in multiple places and the area between the passenger seat and the passenger door consisting of an empty bottle, mobile phone, and a few other things.

As the rest of the video shows significant damage to the vehicle, it may come across as distressing to some readers, so you’ve been warned if you still wish to watch it.

How long has the rapper been in jail?

Melly was arrested by law enforcement in February 2019 in connection to the killing of the two YNW members and as of today, he’s spent over four years and four months in jail.

Melly has remained locked up in Broward County jail in Florida after pleading “not guilty” as his bond was denied. He has been accused of allegedly killing two of his childhood friends and staging it as a drive-by shooting along with his co-defendant, YNW Bortlen.

If the rapper is convicted of the crime, he will be one of the first people to be subject to capital punishment under Florida’s new law. He could even face the death penalty based on the decision of the jury.
