On August 4, 2014, Michael Connor Verkerke was spending time with his little brother at the playground near his home when he was attacked by an older boy. The 9-year-old Connor had never met the other boy, 12-year-old Jamarion Lawhorn, but Jamarion pulled a hidden knife out of the sand at the playground and stabbed Connor several times in the back. Connor's brother helped him back to the porch of their home, where the 7-year-old watched Connor bleed to death while reassuring him, "If anything happens to me, it's not your fault. I'll always love you."
Jamarion will be released from custody sometime in the next two years.
