MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. (WWSB) - After several months of investigation, the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office has arrested and charged a man after he brought an overheated 6-year-old child to a fire station back in May.

According to investigators, Markise L. Outing came to Southern Manatee Fire Department Station 2 in Bradenton back on May 20. He was seeking medical attention for a 6-year-old girl.

Outing told paramedics that the child was his girlfriend’s daughter. She was not breathing and possibly in cardiac arrest. Medical staff said the 6-year-old had a body core temperature of 107.2 degrees. She was pronounced dead later that evening.

When interviewed by detectives, Outing said the child was over-heated from playing in a park. Citing inconsistencies in his testimony and using GPS data, detectives say they were able to determine that the child was instead in Outing’s car in the parking lot of his place of business for several house.

Deputies were also able to determine he had picked up the girl from school and drove to the parking lot around 2:45 p.m. Investigators say he left her in the car with the windows rolled up. Temperatures in the car rose to more than 115 degrees.

An autopsy determined the child died from extreme heat. Detectives are still waiting on a toxicology report to learn more about the manner of death.

After weeks of investigation, Outing was arrested for Aggravated Manslaughter of a Child and booked at the Manatee County Jail.
