Case #99C159897

The state of Nevada v. Zane M. Floyd

The evidence in the mass shooting at a Las Vegas Albertsons in June 1999 is kept wrapped in two boxes marked with a green “DEATH PENALTY” sticker.

Under a black gun case is a 12-gauge shotgun. An array of cartridges, magazines and bullets are also categorized.

Zane Floyd, now 46, walked into an Albertsons on West Sahara Avenue, dressed in military fatigues and armed with the shotgun hidden under his robe.

Four employees — Lucy Tarantino, 60, Thomas Darnell, 40, Chuck Leos, 40, and Dennis “Troy” Sargent, 31 — died that morning.

Zachar Emenegger, 21, was shot twice and survived after playing dead in the produce section.

Floyd is on Nevada’s death row for the deadly shooting. Evidence of the carnage are VHS tapes of his arrest and supermarket surveillance video.

Photos also show grocery displays with punctured watermelons and bullet holes in packages of Oreos and between loaves of whole-grain bread. They show his military-style vest, wallet and Marine Corps ID.


Case #07C237890-4

The state of Nevada v. Orenthal J. Simpson

O.J. Simpson was infamously convicted of raiding a Palace Station hotel room and served nine years of a 33-year sentence in prison for armed robbery and kidnapping. He was released in 2017.

Simpson was part of a group that attempted to steal sports memorabilia at gunpoint in 2007. Simpson, a former player for the Buffalo Bills, said the items belonged to him.

The memorabilia has been returned to its owners and removed from the evidence vault. But boxes of evidence contain items such as a portrait of Clarence Stewart, one of the co-defendants in the case.

They also contain a large blue-and-white plaid shirt that is not labeled, as well as a pair of black sunglasses, a large white long-sleeved dress shirt, a tie and a black pinstriped suit belonging to Walter Alexander, another co-defendant.

Surveillance video from the Palms titled “coverage of OJ Simpson and others on property” shows the valet area on Sept. 13, 2007.

Also included in an evidence box are juror notes with questions that were read to witnesses during the trial: Why did OJ give you the football? Did he hire you as his bodyguard?
