Nexus 5 screen broke. Need data back. (Root)

So here is my situation:
The screen of my nexus 5 broke to the point it's basically unusable. You can sometimes see the lockscreen when you press it at a certain point but the touchscreen is unusable. When
the screen is turned on it also starts pressing on random places on the screen. I suspect this is because of a short circuit?

Anyway I really need my data back. Not just the pictures but also contact's (Google don't save all my contacts in the cloud)
I don't necessarily want to repair it because I have an other one one in mind but the data on it is really important to me.

I managed to get the screen unlocked once via a keyboard and then copying the pictures via windows but the phone
would lock really fast again disallowing me to copy my pictures.

side note: my phone is rooted.
Any advice? How do I recover my data?


Thanks in advance.
