Several children have been arrested and charged for the death of a 15-year-old boy, who was found floating in a retention pond.

Zahmere Greene, 15, of Columbus, Georgia, was found dead in a retention pond less than a mile from the Chattahooche River just before 2:30 pm on May 29.

However, he actually drowned on May 23 and his death was not reported until six days after, according to authorities.

Greene's death was ruled as a homicide by the medical examiner at the Muscogee County Coroner's Office, police spokesperson Brittany Santiago told USA TODAY Friday.

After further investigation, police discovered that six juveniles, ranging from age 9 to 17, witnessed the boy's death.

One of the kids, an 11-year-old boy, was reportedly on top of the victim when he drowned. He is being charged with involuntary manslaughter and concealing the death of another.

Santiago told USA today that the boy knew the victim, and that they were all enrolled in the Muscogee County School District.

The boy is being held in Regional Youth Detention Center.

The 17-year-old, Shane Sano, who was the older brother of one of the female juveniles, turned himself in, according to Santiago. He was freed after posting a $1,500 bond.

He was booked into the county jail on June 8 and charged as an adult for concealing the death of another.

His parents did not notice he was gone for 6 days?

children?

One of the kids, an 11-year-old boy, was reportedly on top of the victim when he drowned.

Is this code for, "Was reportedly holding the victim under the water until dead"?

Might have been in foster care.

You notice that only the aunt is speaking to the press.

And sadly the foster care system is a broken as most other systems in the US.

Rather weird and odd, isn't that?

Shane Sano..

[AFB-XYZ]

Reminds me of “Lord of the Flies” by Wm. Golding.

[Morgana]

Sano is a Japanese surname is it not?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Hispanic.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I don't think Hispanic.

Surname "Sano" from the Dictionary of American Family Names, 2nd edition, © Oxford University Press, 2022:

1. Japanese: written 佐野 ‘small field’. This name is found throughout Japan. The first element in fact means ‘help’ and is used phonetically. Some bearers have samurai connections.
2. Italian: nickname from sano ‘healthy’ (from Latin sanus).
3. Italian: from a short form of any of several adjectival habitational names formed with the ending -sano, as for example Formisano or Palmisano. Compare Di Sano.

Some characteristic forenames: Japanese Hiroshi, Kazuhiko, Masaaki, Tomomi, Yumiko, Akira, Chiharu, Katsuhiko, Masashi, Takuya, Toru, Yuichi. Italian Salvatore, Angelo, Pietro, Nunzio.

Just about guaranteed you are dealing with black people.

[antidemoncrat]

The blacks have been pushing for the end of the traditional family in the US so no surprise the kids that young are forming gangs to ensure their own survival. The last I heard about 70% of black kids are born into single family homes.

Just about guaranteed you are dealing with black people.

A valid presumption that is rebuttable with clear and convincing evidence to the contrary.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Many black children don’t even have a stable, consistent single-parent home, but are instead shuffled among various aunts, cousins, and grandparents.

[Trailerpark Badass]

We’ve seen one of six arrested. In Columbus, GA, I guarantee at least a few of the others are black.

“His parents did not notice he was gone for 6 days?”

Feral parents produce feral children.

Miguel Sanó.

From the Dominican Republic.

It is a Hispanic last name.

The article says "his death was not reported until six days after." That is, the kids who were there didn't report it.

The article doesn't say he wasn't reported missing.

Another report says his body was found on May 27 and identified the same day.

Rest in peace, Zahmere. Sounds like you were a nice kid. So sorry for you and your family...
