NOT FORGOTTEN
Almost 16 months have passed since 6-year-old Jeremy Mardis was killed in a hail of bullets fired into his father’s car by Marksville City Marshal’s deputies at the dead-end of Martin Luther King Dr. This memorial, at the entrance of the Marksville State Historic Site, was erected soon after the Nov. 3, 2015, incident that killed Jeremy and critically wounded his father, Chris Few.
