Cops shoot and kill 6 year old boy while serving his father a warrant, believing he had a weapon in the vehicle. Except there was no weapon. Or warrant.

Two days after 6-year-old Jeremy Mardis was accidentally shot and killed at the tail-end of a police pursuit, many are still confused about exactly what happened on Martin Luther King Drive in Marksville, LA.

During a 2 p.m. news conference on Thursday, Louisiana State Police Col. Mike Edmonson said no gun was found in the vehicle the Ward 2 City Marshal deputies were chasing that resulted in the death of a 6-year-old boy. The shooting happened Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2015 around 9:30 p.m.

Officials say the child was shot five times during the shooting.

Dr. L.J. Mayeux, coroner of Avoyelles Parish, said the father of the victim, Chris Few, had warrants out for his arrest. Ward 2 City Marshal deputies reportedly spotted Few’s vehicle on Washington Street and initiated a stop. Instead of pulling over, officials say Few led deputies on a chase through Marksville, finally turning down Martin Luther King Drive, which is a dead end street.

Parish investigators initially said marshals were chasing Chris Few because of an outstanding warrant. However, WAFB checked with the Clerk of Court, the District Attorney’s Office, Marksville Police Department and City Court and we did not find any outstanding warrants. Col. Mike Edmonson says so far, their investigation shows the same.

Mayeux added Few backed into the marshal’s vehicle several times and would not get out and that is when the gunfire erupted. Officials initially stated there was an exchange of gunfire during the incident Tuesday night. As of Thursday afternoon, officials are now saying a gun was not found in Few’s vehicle.

At last report, Few was listed in critical condition.

Col. Edmonson says there is also no evidence, at this time, that Few backed into the deputy’s vehicle. Investigators are reviewing at least one piece of video that shows part of the gunfire. A source tells WAFB that video is from a police body camera one of the officers was wearing.

Col. Edmonson says the Louisiana State Police was contacted shortly after the shooting. For the first 12 to 15 hours, investigators were in a forensic mode - investigating the trajectory of the bullets fired.

During the initial investigation, the Marksville Police Chief stated there were four officers involved. Three of them worked full time for the Marksville Police Department, one worked as a Reserve Officer for the Marksville Police Department. Three of the officers were moonlighting as Ward 2 City Marshals, a fourth officer was called in as backup with the Marksville Police Department. The problem is, the police chief and mayor did not know their officers picked up the part-time jobs with the City Marshal’s office until about three months ago.

However, Ward 2 Marshal Floyd Voinche was not at Thursday’s news conference. He has declined on-camera interviews, but did tell WAFB by phone his marshals only work 17 hours in a month, and at least three of the four will not be coming back to work until the investigation is over.

According to Col. Edmonson, officers involved in any officer-involved shooting are given a “day or two to rest and get sleep” before being interviewed for the investigation. As of 2:45 p.m. Thursday, the officers involved had not been interviewed. There is a question if the City Marshals had jurisdiction at the time of the shooting.

The officers are not on leave at this time, but LSP officials recommends the officers be placed on administrative leave, “but it will be up to the chief.” The names of the officers have not been released.

Jeremy Mardis was a first grader at Lafarue Elementary School in Effie.

Louisiana State Police currently is heading the investigation. There is no word if Few is facing any charges at this time.

Soooo… What the actual Fuck

Some cops pulled a guy over for no reason, and then they got out of their car and shot the living shit out of him and his six year old son for no reason. The kid died, because they shot him five times. Then, the cops lied about every single aspect of every thing that happened. After they murdered a kid, and shot his father to pieces for no reason. There are no consequences for their actions.  They committed murder, then lied to cover it up, but they still won’t get punished.

the debate is just a smokescreen to hide the truth

In many colleges, the atmosphere of non-stop stress and outright bigotry means the only place to find some kind of mental solace is off-campus. @agoodcartoon

I'm just like, totally in awe of whalegate. I mean, to ME, at the least, it seemed inspiring and informative. I never would have DREAMED that it could have been controversial. The only thing I thought was maybe the tag police would get up in your face or something. But apparently you need to put 'Injured Whale Glorifier' on your sidebar now.
