The kid was autistic too. Apparently the officer who shot was stalking the kid’s Dad’s fiancé prior to the murder as well.

So the guy that shot and killed him was convicted of manslaughter, but was released from prison in 2019 after serving only a quarter of his sentence. I assume the hoopla surrounding this is in protest of the fact that his killer (who nearly also killed the boy's father) is now free?

Mardis was hit by five bullets, also struck in the head and chest. He was initially thought to have died instantly, according to the coroner for Avoyelles Parish. However, it is now known that six-year-old Mardis was alive for an additional seven minutes while lying in his father's truck.

Jesus Christ man.
