Trayvon Martin killed by single gunshot fired from ‘intermediate range,’ autopsy shows
Trayvon Martin died from a single gun shot wound to the chest from “Intermediate range”.
According to an autopsy report that was recently released, Trayvon Martin died from a single gun shot wound to the chest from “Intermediate range”.
NBC News, is also reporting the autopsy also showed Martin had a fresh injury – a small abrasion, no more than a quarter-inch in size – on his left ring finger below the knuckle.
Separately, a medical report on Trayvon Martin’s alleged killer, 28-year-old George Zimmerman, prepared by his personal physician the day after Martin’s shooting in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, found that the Neighborhood Watch volunteer suffered a likely broken nose, swelling, two black eyes and cuts to the scalp.
Both documents are part of a mountain of evidence – up to 300 pages and 67 CDs of witness statements, surveillance videos and other material– expected to be made public soon in connection with the second-degree murder case against Zimmerman.
Zimmerman allegedly shot Martin during a confrontation inside the gated community in Sanford where Zimmerman was a neighborhood volunteer and where Martin was visiting his father’s fiancée.
After first reporting a suspicious person in the neighborhood in a phone call to Sanford police, Zimmerman followed the teenager before a fatal confrontation that remains shrouded in mystery.
George Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder and is currently out on bond.
