CONCORD, NH — State officials have released the official autopsy results from the road rage murder of a Londonderry truck driver not far from the state’s largest mall Saturday.

Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jennie Duval reported Dzemal Cardakovic, 45, was killed by “a gunshot wound to the face into the neck, and that the manner of his death was homicide,” the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office said Tuesday. He was killed on South Willow Street around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 29.

After being assisted by Good Samaritans following a vehicle that fled the scene after the shooting, police arrested Tyrese Harris, 22, of Manchester, first on drug charges and later, on two alternative counts of second-degree murder.
