More on the incident surrounding the shooting death of Jeremy Mardis
Officials (still) have not yet said what the supposed warrant the marshals were serving Few with was for. It’s also not yet known (or been revealed?) when the incident started.
According to the Acadiana Advocate, Few has several traffic violations and a recent DWI conviction, but there were no outstanding warrants or ongoing criminal cases in Marksville city court or the area district court. Police and the district attorney said they were not aware of any outstanding warrants for his arrest.
The shooting happened on Martin Luther King Drive in Marksville, a city of 5,700 in Avoyelles Parish. Avoyelles Today initially reported the marshals cornered the suspect in his vehicle. Few then put his vehicle in reverse and struck the police vehicle, the news site reported. The officers exited their vehicle and fired their duty pistols through the driver’s side window.
However, State Police Colonel Michael Edmonson, the head of the department, denied that Few had put the vehicle in reverse, saying “no, I didn’t say that. That didn’t come from me."
Few's fiancee, Megan Dixon, told The Guardian she saw the two marshals’ black and white cars approaching Few’s vehicle from behind as he pulled away from a bar where they had been talking. She said she saw Few point toward his son, indicating he was in the car and didn’t know what to do. Few was afraid of the marshals because he had a prior personal conflict with one of them, she told The Guardian.
Chris Few, the boy’s father, was also shot by police. He was airlifted to the hospital and is in critical condition, state police say. According to the Alexandria Town Talk, Few is on a respirator and does not know his son died.
