The death of a 5-year-old boy hit by a car has shocked both the authorities and the inhabitants of Alabama, in the United States.
The incident occurred when the victim, identified as Austin Bridseye, was taken out of the car by her mother’s boyfriend as punishment for making a lot of noise.
The man, named Bryan Starr, became aware of the boy’s death only when he saw a crowd of people around the body, according to US media reports, quoted by Noticias Caracol.
Although the emergency services managed to reach the site to try to help the child, he was pronounced dead at the Piedmont Columbus regional hospital.
Additionally, it was said that Starr, who is an army sergeant, was alone with the baby, a fact that is being investigated by authorities to establish for certain what happened in the minutes before his death.
Starr, known for his 17 years as a military man, has surrendered to the authorities and is in custody while under investigation for reckless murder.
The 35-year-old is part of Fort Benning, a detachment that, through a spokesperson, issued a statement in which it assured that the Armed Forces will openly collaborate in the investigation of this “tragic event”, according to the US network KMOV4.
Russell County Sheriff in Alabama, Heath Taylor, assured in a press conference that he does not understand Starr’s “contempt”.
“Who can tell a five-year-old to get out of a car because it’s noisy?” Taylor wondered.
