An attorney for Chris Few says body camera footage shows Few’s hands were up when two city marshals shot into his vehicle last week, critically wounding the dad and killing his 6-year-old son Jeremy Mardis.

Few’s condition is improving, Jeansonne added, but he still hasn’t been told that his son died at the scene.
Jeremy Mardis was shot dead in the backseat of his father Chris Few’s auto last week by Lt. Derrick Stafford and Norris Greenhouse Jr, who have been arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Morris German, Few’s stepfather, said that Few suffered from bullet fragments in his lungs and brain. Dixon said Few had encountered one of the marshals previously and was uncomfortable with facing him again.
Also Monday, District Attorney Charles A. Riddle recused himself from the case. Both were working part-time as deputy marshals in Marksville on when the shooting occurred. That video has been described by State Police Col. Mike Edmonson as “the most disturbing thing I’ve seen”. “Jeremy Mardis…he didn’t deserve to die like that”.
It is also claimed the marshall had been messaging Mr Few’s fiancee Megan Dixon on Facebook, and stopped by the house she shared with her Mr Few.
Stafford and Greenhouse were ordered held on $1 million bonds on second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder charges.
The two officers were arrested on Friday, three days after the shooting.
Investigators said there were no outstanding warrants against the father, and no firearm was found in his vehicle. “Shame, shame, shame”, Scott said.
On Tuesday, November 03, 6-year-old autistic boy Jeremy Mardis was tragically gunned down by Louisiana police.
The above item has been changed to correct that the boy was buckled into the front passenger seat, not the backseat, and Greenhouse’s first name is Norris, not Derrick. Both were being held at the Avoyelles Parish jail.
Chris Few/Facebook Chris Few reportedly had a recent confrontation with one of the marshals charged with shooting him and his son.
School friends from Lafargue Elementary School in Louisiana were among mourners who remembered him for his love of the outdoors and his easy camaraderie.

Mayor John Lemoine, says Voinche, who has served as marshal for the past 12 years and was recently re-elected unopposed, has recently begun overstepping his authority. Edmonson said the State Police routinely share case information with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Pallbearers carry the casket of 6-year-old Jeremy Mardis to the grave site at Beaumont Cemetery in Beaumont, Miss., 30 miles east of Hattiesburg, Monday, November 9, 2015.
