Tyre King Autopsy: “More likely than not King was in the process of running away”

In the wake of a police incident that led to 13-year old, Tyre King, being shot and killed by a Columbus Police Officer, the family has hired an independent forensic pathologist from Michigan to understand more about what happened that Wednesday night.

According to The Guardian and according to a statement from the family, Francisco J. Diaz, MD, FCAP said:

“Based on the location and the direction of the wound paths it is more likely than not that Tyre King was in the process of running away from the shooter or shooters when he suffered all three gunshot wounds.”

There were three wounds to Tyre King’s body during the CPD altercation and all three could have led to his death — a gunshot wound of entrance on the left temple that passed left to right and slightly downward and exited through the right temple. The entrance wound was above the left ear and the exit wound was in front of the right ear. Tyre also suffered a gunshot wound to the left collarbone area. Lastly, he suffered a gunshot wound to the left flank. There is an exit wound on the right flank.
