FARMINGTON, Mo. -- A Friday autopsy confirmed a Malden, Mo., man died as of the result of gunshots allegedly fired during what a witness described as a heated exchange with another man.
The autopsy was performed on 46-year-old Geoffrey Wright by Dr. Russell Deidiker in Farmington, Mo.
The autopsy turned up "nothing that we didn't expect to find," said Dunklin County Coroner James Powell.
Wright's cause of death, Powell said, was multiple gunshot wounds to the head and chest areas.
Samples, Powell said, were taken for toxicology analysis. Those results typically take six to eight weeks to be returned.
Wright, according to earlier reports, was found unresponsive lying across the front seat of a still-running Chevrolet Equinox, which was parked behind a North Kimball Street residence in Malden. Wright died at the scene.
An eye witness identified David Lee Anderson, 30, of Poplar Bluff, Mo., as the alleged shooter.
Anderson, who is charged with the Class A felony of first-degree murder, the unclassified felony of armed criminal action and the Class C felony of unlawful possession of a weapon, is being held without bond in the Dunklin County Jail.
Anderson was taken into custody at about 3 p.m. Thursday at a home in Hayti Heights, Mo.
Anderson is to appear at 9 a.m. Tuesday before Associate Circuit Judge John Spielman for arraignment on the charges.
