Last year, Eric Smith and his infant son, La’Mello Parker, were killed after officers were led on a car chase in the state that eventually led to a shootout, perWAFB. During the occurrence, Smith, 30, shot at authorities before they fired back, fatally shooting the father and his son.
Smith was accused of killing his ex-girlfriend Christin Parker and her nephew, Brandon Parker, inside their Baker, Louisiana home, before kidnapping the infant. Christin was the mother of the young child.
“After full and deliberate consideration of all the facts and circumstances leading up to the May 3, 2021, shooting of Eric Smith and La’Mello Parker, and the circumstances as they existed at the time of the shooting, the Grand Jury finds no criminal conduct on behalf of the law enforcement officers involved,” a report from the Harrison County grand jury said, according to WAFB.
A representative for the Harrison County grand jury did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
