Until the body is analyzed in a lab, there's no way of knowing what else could be off/wrong. All your chars would see are wounds that aren't the right size or shape for the knives jammed into them. If I were you, I'd have Azzie ask for a detailed coroner's report.

On the other hand though, 5.56 (out of a modern M4 at least) is designed to tumble and cause cavitation when it hits its target. Given Azzie's mob history, he'd probably know what certain wounds look like, especially ones as nasty as cavitation. I think I'll let you figure out the rest ;)

Correct, there's only one shotgun shell in the scene. Fired into the wall? It's also possible that aura or something else could have deflected the pellets away.

I wouldn't say you're overthinking this. It is detective work after all and it really sounds like we're writing the next episode of Bones or something.
