An autopsy report shows 20-year-old Nykera Brown died of a single gunshot wound.

Forensic pathologist Dr. Shaun Ladham, who performed the autopsy, testified Thursday at the trial for Andrew Rosenfeldt, 28, who's charged with second-degree murder in Brown's death.

Ladham also testified that Brown had methamphetamine, cocaine and alcohol in her system when she died on Nov. 15, 2022.

"[The drugs] may have influenced how she acted, but not how she died," he replied to a question from Crown prosecutor Elizabeth Addabor.

"She would have died in minutes. It was an incapacitating wound."
