"Lockhart said he was present during the autopsy and learned the potential manner of death is blunt force trauma homicide, though an autopsy report has not been released yet. According to an arrest affidavit, first responders on Feb. 5 went to a home in the Chattanooga suburb of Ooltewah for a call of CPR in progress, where they found the woman already deceased."
"According to the affidavit, there were extensive amounts of blood in different areas of the residence that were inconsistent with Lee's statement. Authorities carrying out a search warrant found multiple kinds of trauma to the woman's body, including a stab wound to her abdomen, an apparent human bite mark on her shoulder, a large bruise on her head, black eyes with heavy swelling, and dried blood on her face and neck, the affidavit said."
Darron Lee, a former New York Jets first-round pick, is being held without bond facing a first-degree murder charge and a charge of tampering with or fabricating evidence in the death of his girlfriend, Gabriella Perpétuo. Judge Tori Smith ordered continued detention after Lee's arrest. Investigators reported extensive blood in the residence and multiple traumas to the victim, including stab wounds, an apparent human bite mark, severe brain injury, a broken neck, black eyes and bruising. Authorities also found alcohol, narcotics and a gun in the home. Lee is due back in court for a March 9 preliminary hearing.
