South Carolina Man Faces Involuntary Manslaughter Charges After His Dogs Mauled 7-year-old to Death By Dogs
A South Carolina man has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and penalty for owning a dangerous animal that attacks and injures a human after his dogs mauled a 7-year-old to death last month.
Lorenzo Cardenas has been charged on June 28, after 7-year-old Shamar Sherif Jackson was killed after being attacked by dogs on June 13 in Marion, South Carolina WSAV reported. According to law enforcement and a statement from the child’s father, Carnell Jackson, Shamar was a first grader at Lake View Elementary School, and his older brother were walking around the neighborhood searching for their chihuahua when the incident occurred. The dogs reportedly came through a hole in the fence.
“They couldn’t get away because it was so many dogs coming from different directions,” the father said. The boy managed to escape. Jackson says his son was stripped naked by the animals and killed.
The family Shamar was devastated. “I’m hurt. I want to cry, but I can’t cry anymore,” the boy’s uncle Anthony Parsley told WBTW. “That’s my little fella there.” At the time, Parsley said Cardenas had not yet apologized to the family.
Jackson says the man told his wife not to touch Shamar until authorities had arrived. “How are you going to tell her to leave her child there?” Jackson questioned. That next day, The S.C. Law Enforcement Division came with a cage and removed the dogs from the scene while neighbors and family members of the victim watched.
Residents said that the dogs were troublesome and often escaped their yard, while others said they’ve even harassed and chased neighbors. “It hurts, trust me,” the father told WSAV during a phone interview. “I did not know that when I went to work that day, I would come home, and my son would be gone.”
WMBF reported that Cardenas was granted a bond of $50,000 on June 30, when speaking through an interpreter, he told the court, “I also feel that it’s a tragedy. I’m very sorry. I never thought that would happen.”
