"Mansfield said in court documents he invited three people – one being the boy who ended up at the hospital – to his apartment but became angry when a vape cartridge went missing.
He then demanded everyone in the apartment to empty their pockets and asked them to leave, Mansfield said in court documents. At some point, Mansfield told detectives, he noticed the boy take something out of his sock and throw it toward a laundry basket.
Mansfield said that’s when he saw the vape cartridge on top of the basket – which he claimed to have already checked multiple times without finding it, according to court documents."
Mansfield admitted in court documents to then exchanging words with the boy. He claimed “the fight started” but he blacked out, according to court documents. He also said in his interview he may have hit the boy five or six times while the boy covered his head, court documents said."
Mansfield and the two other guests in the home brought the juvenile to the hospital where they spoke with police.
A doctor at the hospital told investigators the boy who was battered suffered from a critical and traumatic brain injury with irreversible damage, court documents said. The doctor also said in court documents he was unsure if the boy would live through the night.
