Medical examiner testifies Oglethorpe Mall shooting death was homicide

Motion hearings continued Tuesday in the case against six suspects accused in a mall shooting, with testimony from a medical examiner and a gang expert.

The hearings are intended to help a judge rule on motions over whether certain evidence will be admitted at trial.

The medical examiner testified first, following questions from lead prosecutor and Chatham County District Attorney Shalena Jones.

Jones questioned the medical examiner about the cause and manner of death for Tina Smith, the alleged victim in the case, who died from heart complications after running from the shooting.
