Man killed in Bartlett died of gunshot wound to neck, autopsy finds

BARTLETT - The man fatally shot on Wednesday in Bartlett died of a gunshot wound to the neck, the state's coroner's office said on Thursday.

The autopsy conducted by Deputy Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Mitchell Weinberg also determined that

23-year-old Samuel Lozado's manner of death was homicide, meaning he was killed by another.

Lozado's body was found in the parking lot of 25 Nordic Wilderness Road on Wednesday morning. A second adult male also suffered a gunshot wound, and called for medical assistance approximately a mile and a half away from the same location. Upon arrival, officers encountered Jason Sanchez, 24, who is recovering from a nonfatal gunshot wound.
