The autopsy report of 29-year-old Brandon Combs shows the Gastonia man was shot at least five times by a police officer in Concord just before he died, according to public records provided Monday by lawyers for Combs’ mother. Emergency room doctors at Atrium Health hospital in Concord tried to save Combs but he died about an hour after being shot, autopsy records show. Larson shot Combs at least five times, according to the autopsy performed by Medical Examiner Kevin Gullett. “It’s been almost six months since Larson shot and killed Brandon Combs,” Chimeaka White, one of Combs’ mother’s three lawyers said. “But even though the video was immediately available, this autopsy report was finalized in May and Larson was fired for lying to investigators, he still hasn’t been charged with a crime.
