Autopsy reports on the nine bikers killed in the May 17 Twin Peaks shootout were released Thursday morning by McLennan County Justice of the Peace W.H. “Pete” Peterson’s office.
The nine died as a result of one or more bullet wounds but ballistics reports are not included with the autopsy reports. The reports do not indicate who killed the men and most references to bullets refer to projectiles ranging in size from small to large.
Those listed in the autopsy reports include:
Manuel Issac Rodriguez, 40, Allen, one gunshot wound in the head and one in the back.
Matthew Mark Smith, 27, Keller, one gunshot wound in the back and one in the abdomen.
Jesus Delgado Rodriguez, 65, New Braunfels, one gunshot wound to the head and one in the back.
Richard Matthew Jordan II, 31, Pasadena, one gunshot wound to the head.
Richard Vincent Kirschner Jr., 47, Wylie, one gunshot wound to the top of the head, one to the left knee and one in the buttocks.
Wayne Lee Campbell, 43, Fort Worth, one gunshot wound to the head.
Daniel Raymond Boyett, 44, Waco, shot two times in the head.
Charles Wayne Russell, 46, Tyler, shot once in the chest.
Jacob Lee Rhyne, 39, Ranger, shot once in the neck and once in the abdomen.
Good grief we knew they died of bullet wounds. The question is who fired the damn bullets and why is the sheriffs office stalling on the release of the videos
Great work, so bullets killed them.
An absolutely senseless tragedy.
Well, to an extent, all violence has an aspect of senseless. But, we are neither angels nor Vulcans.
These report is useless without the ballistics analyses. Total waste of public time/money.
is -—> are
My 13 year old son can tell the difference between a small bullet wound and a large one. I though these people were supposed to be forensic scientists - so why don't they know the specific calibers and types of slugs that made these wounds?
Or, maybe they DO know but don't want to have to tell us...
An absolutely senseless number of assassinations. Fixed it for you!!
I wonder if the tests can estimate distance from which a person was shot from. That might clarify some things. As I understand it, the law enforcement were in a semi-circle along the outside of the premises. If the head shots were close range, it will be harder to pin that on police.
Also, what bullets and what caliber those bullets were would be vital information.
Seems to quite a few head shots...
Big bullets, .40-.45. from a SIG/Glock?
Little bullets .223 from an AR?
WTF?
Somehow that report was not the truth I was expecting.
That crap was no better than no report.
Sorry, should have read your comment first.
For an out and out biker ‘brawl’, it is amazing to see so many had ‘one or more bullets in the head’......
That's an awful lot of head shots for some bikers in a scuffle.
Not saying that they can't do it, I'm saying that if some 220# guy is coming at someone swinging a tire iron, I'd think it would be more likely to go center mass.
Your last sentence answered your own question.
Except it points out how many were shot in head. Targeted for kill rather than just wound
Posts 11, 13 and 14. Great minds, and all that.
Way , way too accurate for cops to have done the shooting.
Yup. Far too many for the CQB chaos of scuffles, etc. I think most of these are sniper shots.
The only thing we can gather from this is that many of tese must have been sniper head shots. But yes, where are the bullet tallies?
