Update (Feb. 12): The MNPD said on Friday morning that ballistic testing and an autopsy have been completed.
From their release:
Ballistic testing completed this morning in regard to Wednesday’s self-inflicted gunshot death of Markquett Martin off Claiborne Street shows that the sole shell casing recovered from the scene was fired by the semi-automatic pistol Martin was carrying. Impact testing revealed that the gun would not fire without the trigger being pulled.
During an autopsy examination on Thursday, the Medical Examiner found that Martin died from a single gunshot that entered the right side of his head, traveled from right to left, and exited.
