Mark Mazza was a Shelbyville, Indiana man — a name his central-Indiana community knew. His is a story that ended in tragedy. After being released under the January 20, 2025 clemency for January 6 defendants, Mazza was killed in February 2025 during a traffic stop involving a sheriff's deputy. He was 58. Whatever anyone thinks of his case, a man's life ended, and his family carries that. (FACT — reported by NBC News.) The court record, straight: Mazza pleaded guilty on June 17, 2022 to assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers with a dangerous weapon and to a firearms count arising from his conduct at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. On October 21, 2022 he was sentenced to 60 months, plus supervised release and restitution. Charges are charges; this was his plea and the court's sentence. His case was covered by the January 20, 2025 clemency. (FACT.) Case record: No. 1:21-cr-736, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed November 12, 2021; arrested November 17, 2021. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
