The medical examiner who performed the autopsy of Dwayne Grandson, confirmed to the jury Wednesday that Grandson died of gunshot wounds.

During his testimony, Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. Zabuli Ali told the jury he was able to determine Grandson was shot in the torso.

Ali found three entrance and exit wounds of gunshots in Grandson’s body. He appeared to be shot in his neck, thighs, chest and right side.

In a diagram presented by the government, Ali showed the jury where Grandson’s gunshot wounds were discovered. He also told them there were “scratches” on Grandson’s body the images on the left side of the diagram, indicate where bullets “occurred.” The ones on the right side of the diagram, are where bullets entered the “back of the chest.”’

Clifton Johnson was arrested in connection with Grandson’s murder and charged with second-degree murder while armed. He is being held without bond and his trial resumes next Wednesday.
