Jessica Hernandez, Teen Killed By Denver Police, Had 4 Gunshot Wounds: Autopsy
DENVER (AP) — An autopsy shows a 17-year-old girl who was killed by Denver police officers while driving a stolen car suffered four gunshot wounds.

The Denver medical examiner’s office said Friday that Jessica Hernandez also had marijuana and a small amount of alcohol in her system during the Jan. 26 shooting that sparked protests and calls for an outside investigation. It came during a national debate about police use of force after killings in Missouri and New York.

Police say two Denver officers fired at Hernandez after she drove toward one of them. The case remains under investigation by the district attorney.

The autopsy shows Hernandez suffered gunshot wounds to the torso, pelvis and thigh.

Qusair Mohamedbhai, an attorney for her family, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
