Print article A 29-year-old Anchorage woman was charged with murder Wednesday in the killing of her 5-year-old son, who was stabbed and found dead at her home in late November, according to charging documents. Charging documents detailed erratic behavior from Marley Joli Marque who is also accused of stabbing her brother and multiple run-ins with police in the days leading up to the discovery of her son’s body. Police have not identified the child. Marque’s first encounter with police during that time frame occurred early on Nov. 18. Officers were called to the area outside Marque’s home on the 4200 block of Reka Drive because a partially clothed man was walking in the street with a stab wound to his upper body, according to charges.

Bossier Parish District Judge Parker Self convicted Harris in a 2019 bench trial in the March 2016 shooting death of Christopher Flowers. Harris faced up to 40 years in prison but was sentenced to 39 years.
The district attorneyâs office said after the trial Harris was unsuccessful in proving the shooting was in self-defense. There was evidence the two men, who worked together at AT&T in Shreveport, were together the night of the incident, which discredited Harris account, according to the district attorney s office.
