Alleged Waukesha Parade Attacker Facing Additional Homicide Charge After 8-Year-Old Boy Dies

The suspect in the Waukesha parade attack is facing another charge of intentional homicide after a child died last week from injuries sustained during the attack.

The suspected driver of a red Ford Escape killed at least six people after he allegedly intentionally plowed through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on November 21. The suspect is facing six counts of first-degree intentional homicide after the most recent charge was filed on Monday, according to Fox News.

Prosecutors charged the suspect, who The Daily Wire has decided not to name, with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide on November 23. That same day, 8-year-old Jackson Sparks died from injuries sustained during the attack. The attack left dozens of others injured, many critically.

“Our sweet little boy is now under the care of Jesus,” Sparks obituary says. “Jackson was a 3rd grader at Clarendon Avenue Elementary School and a member of LifePoint Church in Mukwonago. Jackson loved baseball and played for the Waukesha Blazers. When not playing baseball, or slam-dunking basketballs throughout the house, Jackson enjoyed fishing, catching frogs, and playing with his brother Tucker and his dog Qi’ra.”
