Greenhouse and Stafford, the men who critically wounded Christopher Few and killed his 6-year-old autistic son
Around 9:30 p.m. on November 3, 2015, Marksville police began pursuing Christopher Few's SUV after he had driven off during an argument with his fiancée, who was in a separate vehicle. According to police, the officers decided to conduct a traffic stop because Few had an outstanding warrant. But the Clerk of Court, the District Attorney's Office, Marksville Police Department, and City Court did not have any warrants against him.
Prior to the shooting, Marksville Police Officer Norris Greenhouse Jr. reported that Few had rammed his SUV into the officer's patrol car. But State Police detective Rodney Owens testified that no physical evidence exists suggesting Few's vehicle had collided with Greenhouse's patrol car.
In the newly released body cam video recorded by Marksville Police Sergeant Kenneth Parnell III, three police cruisers briefly pursue Few's SUV for several seconds before he parks his vehicle and can be seen holding his empty hands in the air. On Wednesday, Sgt. Parnell told the court that even though he approached the driver's window with his gun drawn, he did not pull the trigger because the police sergeant did not fear for his life.
Comment: As of mid-November 2016 trials for Greenhouse and Stafford had been postponed.
