(44,397 posts)A man fleeing Marksville city marshals was shot in the head and his 6-year-old son was killed after the marshals opened fire on their vehicle Tuesday night, according to Louisiana State Police.
The exact reason the Ward 2 marshals were in pursuit of Chris Few is unclear. Different sources have said he allegedly was fleeing from the marshals after an altercation at TJ's Lounge on Spring Bayou Road, and also that he fled after a traffic stop. Another source said he fled after marshals tried to serve a warrant on him.
Few was shot in the head and was transported to Alexandria's Rapides Regional Medical Center for treatment.
His son, Jeremy David Mardis, died at the scene after being hit multiple times in the head and chest, according to Avoyelles Parish Coroner Dr. L.J. Mayeux.
