Friday, June 28, 2024 -A six-year-old girl died after her mother’s boyfriend allegedly left her locked in a hot car while he attended to work.
Markise Outing, 24, showed up at Southern
Manatee Fire Department Station 2 in Bradenton, Florida, with the girl who
was not breathing and possibly suffering cardiac arrest, according to the
Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.
Outing told medics that she was his
girlfriend’s child, and claimed that she over-heated while playing at a
park, WWSB reported.
The girl’s body temperature was recorded at
107.2 degrees Fahrenheit and she was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she was
pronounced dead later the same evening of May 20.
However, on Tuesday, June 25, Outing was
arrested and charged with aggravated manslaughter.
GPS data indicated that the girl was in
Outing’s car in a parking lot outside of his workplace for a few hours instead
of at a park, said investigators. Outing’s account of what happened also
contained inconsistencies.
Investigators found that Outing picked up
the girl from school and drove to his business car park around 2.45pm.
He is accused of leaving her inside the
vehicle with the windows up, with the temperature inside hitting over 115
degrees Fahrenheit.
She died of extreme heat, according to her
autopsy.
Outing has been booked into Manatee County Jail
