LAKE MARY, Fla. — A student's suicide at Greenwood Lakes Middle School in Lake Mary raised questions about bullying and campus safety, but new documents outline the teen's final days and how he got the gun he used to take his life.
Lamar Hawkins, 14, killed himself in a bathroom at the school in September.
Investigators began focusing on the boy's parents almost immediately, even though they told them their son was the victim of bullying.
A letter from 18th Circuit State Attorney Phil Archer said there's not enough evidence to charge Lamar's parents, Lamar Hawkins and Shaniqua Hawkins.
Court documents reveal the boy and two of his siblings had concerning marks on their bodies. The medical examiner also noted that the boy had multiple inflicted injuries that were in various stages of healing.
Both parents denied harming their children and prosecutors said there were no witnesses to the contrary.
