Orange County Register

The autopsy was performed today by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office on the body of Lindon Barrett, 46, a popular professor of English and Black Studies who taught at UC Riverside and Irvine. I’m sorry to say that the pathologists have deferred their report until the results of a toxicology screen which can take eight to 10 weeks to complete. The Coroner’s Office has completed its preliminary investigative report, but they won’t release it until the autopsy results are completed. This is per coroner’s watch commander Lt. Fred Corral this afternoon.

Barrett was found dead, apparently murdered, in his downtown Long Beach apartment Sunday. Police arrested Marlon Martinez, 20, after they found him with Barrett’s black Lexus. He is scheduled to be arraigned on July 24.

I’m sorry I don’t have any more information. As soon as some is available, I will put it up.

Here’s a link to the earlier post if you are looking for more details about the crime and Prof. Barrett.
