A federal autopsy conducted by the Department of Justice stated that Michael Brown, the unarmed African American teenager fatally shot in Missouri by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, died from multiple gunshot wounds and described his death as a "homicide."

The findings of the Justice Department autopsy, which was released on Monday, is similiar to two previous autopsies carried out by St. Louis County's medical examiner and a private examiner hired by the Brown family.

It stated that Brown suffered from "severe injuries of the skull, brain and right chest" and appeared to have been shot in the hand at close range, reports NBC News. "The manner of death is homicide," the Justice Department's medical examiner ruled.

In addition to the Justice Department's autopsy, the St. Louis Prosecutor's office also released witness interviews with federal officials and a number of audio recordings of police transmissions leading up to and following the deadly shooting.

The incident occurred on Aug. 9, when Brown was shot and killed by Officer Wilson after the two got in some type of confrontation. Several eye witnesses testify that the black teenager was shot execution style by Officer Wilson while he was surrendering with his hands in the air. However, the white cop said that the 18-year-old was the aggressor and reached for his weapon.

Angry over a grand jury's decision not to indict Officer Wilson in Brown's death, protesters peacefully shut down several shopping malls and stores in St. Louis on one of the most profitable days in the retail industry. Several stores closed their doors on Black Friday while protesters occupied three large malls demanding justice for Michael Brown and the other black men and boys recently killed by police, The Associated Press reported.

In addition, a string of protesters and "die-ins" demanding justice for Brown have been held all across the nation.
