As I write this on Friday morning, the town of Versailles, Kentucky, near Lexington, is getting ready to say goodbye to Logan Tipton. Here’s why:

According to court documents, the intruder, later identified as 32-year-old Ronald Exantus wandered around the home before walking up the stairs and stabbing a sleeping six-year-old boy several times in the head “with a large kitchen knife that he obtained in the house.”

The boy was identified as Logan Tipton, a student at Simmons Elementary School in Versailles.

Court documents show Tipton’s 11-year-old sister woke up, saw Exantus in the bedroom, and started screaming and trying to fight him.

The police report says Exantus confessed to stabbing the boy during an interview with detectives.

I’m not a parent, but there is no way I can wrap my head around how his family deals with this. To lose a child is one thing, but to lose a child in such a horrific manner has to take the aftermath to stratospheric heights.

All week, I have been tweeting about Logan, doing my best to make sure people read and share his story. I seem to have utterly failed. If you look at the hashtag #LoganTipton, it’s mostly tweets from me. I have been completely frustrated, and increasingly angry, that so few care about this boy or what happened to him.

The Lexington media, of course, has covered the story extensively, as its counterpart in Indianapolis, where the killer is from. The national MSM, however, has largely been silent, which I have pointed out numerous times this week. People have responded to me about media narratives, and how since the killer was black, they don’t want to deal with the racial aspect of the story. Others have callously told me that people are killed every day, and not every murder makes the news.

Regardless of why, Logan’s story is one that should have made national news, and it hasn’t. The one exception has been HLN’s Nancy Grace, who devoted a segment of her show to Logan:

She also tweeted this on Wednesday:

A 6-yr-old little boy asleep in his bed allegedly stabbed to death by a home invader. I demand #Justice4Logan!

Yet, even after telling what happened to Logan, and while she has 453,000 followers, it only got 25 retweets as of this writing. Depressing and unacceptable.

Logan’s funeral is today, so this post is my one last ditch effort to get people to learn and care about what happened to this innocent boy, in his sleep. The services actually began yesterday:

Hundreds begin to say goodbye to 6-year-old Logan Tipton

The visitation for 6-year-old Logan Tipton was held at the Clark Funeral Home in Versailles Thursday from 2p.m.-8p.m.

Hundreds of people showed up to the funeral home to say goodbye to Logan Tipton. For a majority of the six hour long visitation, there was a line out the front door and onto the lawn of the funeral home. As guests walked up the sidewalk to the funeral home, they were greeted by a makeshift football field, because Logan loved playing the game of football.

“Logan was a very sweet little boy, always smiling and loved football. He was fierce out there on the field. He was little, but he was fierce and strong,” Lesha McKee said.

McKee’s 6-year-old son, Josiah was a teammate, classmate and friend of Logan Tipton.

“He is a strong boy on our team,” Josiah McKee said.

This is that makeshift football field at the funeral home

This morning, Versailles expects so many people to attend Logan’s funeral, that they moved it to the local football field. Another fitting gesture, since Logan played for the Woodford County youth football team.

Indeed, RIP Logan Tipton. If you’d like to help out his family, a fundraising page has been set up on his GoFundMe page.
