State Police Report: Few’s hands were raised

Marshals began shooting 26 seconds into video
“Christopher Few’s empty hands are raised and visible when gunfire becomes audible.” Louisiana State Police description of body camera video of Nov. 3 shooting that killed 6-year-old Jeremy Mardis

Details - including very disturbing details - are beginning to emerge concerning a fatal traffic stop that resulted in the death of a child and the indictments of two law enforcement officers for his murder.
The video showing the killing of 6-year-old Jeremy Mardis and the shooting of his father, Chris Few, is about 13 minutes and 47 seconds long, the investigative report states. About 26 seconds into the video, the investigating State Police trooper reports that "Christopher Few's empty hands are raised and visible when gunfire becomes audible."
The Attorney General's Office released the investigator's affidavit after 12th Judicial District Court Judge Billy Bennett lifted his "gag order" last Thursday, immediately after reading the indictments of Derrick Stafford and Norris Greenhouse Jr. on charges of 2nd-degree murder and attempted 2nd-degree murder.
Greenhouse, 23, of Marksville, is currently out of jail on a $1 million property bond. Stafford, 32, of Mansura, is still in jail under $1 million bond but will have a hearing Thursday (Dec. 17) to reduce that bond.
Stafford was a full-time MPD lieutenant. Greenhouse was a reserve MPD officer and a full-time deputy for the Alexandria City Marshal's Office. Both were moonlighting for the Ward 2/Marksville City Marshal's Office when they stopped Few's vehicle and fired approximately 20 rounds into Few's car.
The investigator's report confirms that all casings collected at the scene came from the weapons of Greenhouse and Stafford.
The Marksville City Marshal's Office confirmed the reports description that Greenhouse was alone in one marshal's patrol car when he began the pursuit of Few at about 9 p.m.
Greenhouse radioed for assistance and a second marshal's unit with Stafford and Jason Brouillette - another moonlighting MPD officer - joined the chase. MPD Sgt. Kenneth Parnell also responded to Greenhouse's call for assistance and followed the marshal's cars to the dead end of Martin Luther King Dr. He activated his body camera as the pursuit was ending.
The Marksville police were recently equipped with body cameras and are required to turn the cameras on when exiting a vehicle or making any contact with the public during a possible criminal event.
Parnell's body camera captured the images on video.
"During Sgt. Parnell's interview with Louisiana State Police detectives, he stated he didn't fire his weapon because he didn't fear for his life."
Attorney General Buddy Caldwell said his office will continue to mount a "detailed and thorough investigation as we prepare for trial."
