MEMPHIS, TN – Family members of a child who died from an asthma attack, say it happened because he witnessed a carjacking.

According to court documents, the carjacking happened around 9:40 p.m., July 18, 2008, at a Wal-Mart store on Austin Peay.  Investigators stated in an affidavit, a woman was walking out of the store when a man armed with a gun walked up and demanded her Ford Escape, cell phone and purse.  Police say the man then hit the woman with the gun, before he and another man got into the car and drove away.

Family members of 11 year-old Logan Green say he would still be alive today if he didn’t have to see the violence that happened right before his eyes.

Logan’s father, Marc Green, says watching the carjacking was just too much for Logan to handle, considering his asthma condition.  Paramedics and doctors did all they could, but the asthma attack was just too strong, said Logan’s parents.

His parents say he loved animals and sports.  They say Logan loved to play soccer and football despite having asthma.

According to investigators, both men involved in the carjacking have been arrested.  Police say Mario Evans has been charged with carjacking, aggravated assault and gun crimes.  Robert Love has been charged with carjacking.

Eyewitness News Everywhere asked authorities if any charges will be filed in connection with Logan’s death.  The Shelby County DAs Office says there is not enough evidence to link the child’s death to the carjacking.  A Memphis Police Department spokesperson told Eyewitness News Everywhere there is no current investigation into Logan’s death. 

Bolton United Methodist Church is taking donations for Logan Green’s family.  Logan’s parents say the money will be used to construct a memorial bench at the Memphis Zoo to commemorate Logan’s love for animals.
