7-YEAR-OLD FOREST CITY GIRL SHOT IN HEAD; SUSPECT NOW IN CUSTODY

“He was arrested at some point, I don’t know if it was yesterday or not. He was released from custody after noon for some unrelated charges,” LeRoy said.

Rutherford County arrest records show Francis had been arrested the day of the shooting for assault by pointing a gun. Records also indicated he was given no bond.

LeRoy said at some point the bond decision changed, and Francis was able to bond himself out.

In a search of the North Carolina Department of Corrections website, News 13 also learned Francis had a prior criminal record dating to at least 2017.

“I don’t know whether this was necessarily a random act. I just don’t know what the motivation was,” LeRoy said, adding that Francis and Norris knew each other.

Francis now faces three new charges related to the shooting, including assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury with intent to kill.

Police said Francis turned himself in on those charges Wednesday morning. Police also said the charges could be upgraded.

“Depending on how the outcome for the child is, we’ll revisit stuff with the district attorney’s office. And I know our office has already been in contact with them,” LeRoy said.

LeRoy said police are still investigating to see if more people were involved.

On Wednesday afternoon, LeRoy said Norris was still in critical condition.

There is a GoFundMe page to help with Norris’ medical expenses.

Trial and execution next week would save a lot of money and be fair treatment.

Don't they say fair and speed trial?

Yah, just ridiculous letting so many out and doing so little time for chit that ought had them swinging in the first place.

This F'ed up "justice system" Amerika operates under these days, odds are better than even, he'll be let go again, kill AGAIN and be let go once more...

I'd lay 99-1 he'll NEVER see a needle, because as a country, supporting the rule of law and order is pretty much an antiquated concept anymore.

Has his mama, or grandma, or auntie been on TV yet saying.........."he a good boy, he dinna do nuffin."

It's not all his fault. It's also the gun's fault, because as we all know, we are suffering from a scourge of "gun violence". Those damn guns are always causing such mayhem and chaos. Let's pass more gun laws;... that'll fix everything and we can all enjoy our public safety, gun free utopia.

Shaquille Marshon Francis...lol

Once again the government that touts itself as your protector fails miserably.

Another upstanding colored piece of [bleep]

Those stupid fu-king 'boon mamas' naming their even stupider demon seeds, they're a lost cause, and an incredibly expensive failed experiment.

Look at the photo Mag, half bridge of nose to eyebrows, even Roy Orbison could see that massive amount of "stupid."

So now the charges are what? It was murder? Probably it was just a terrible accident, the gun just went off by itself. He didn't did Nuffin.
