Enduring Harassment and Seeking Justice: Mark and Kelly’s Fight Against Violence, False Accusations, and Systemic Neglect
Mark Thomas and his fiancée Kelly have been victims of harassment and assault by their neighbor since 2019. Despite filing multiple police reports and complaints, the city prosecutor and police ignored their pleas. On October 2, 2022, six people assaulted Mark and Kelly. Despite being the victim, Mark was falsely accused by the city prosecutor. Mark was later shot by the neighbor while trying to get help. The neighbor, who has a history of violence, was only jailed for a week. Mark and Kelly, an interracial couple, face ongoing harassment and are struggling financially. They are seeking justice through media and legal channels, using the hashtag #JusticeForMarkAndKelly.
