Police: No new charges now in death of girl
FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — Investigators handling the death of a 5-year-old girl say they can't file more charges until they decide where crimes occurred.
Fayetteville police had said they planned to file more charges in the death of Shaniya Davis, the girl whose body was found Monday beside a rural highway in Lee County. But Police Chief Tom Bergamine said today they won't file more charges until jurisdiction is determined.
Authorities are trying to decide where the girl was killed and if the case will be prosecuted in Lee County or neighboring Cumberland County, where she lived.
Her mother, Antoinette Davis, is charged with human trafficking and child abuse involving prostitution.
Mario McNeill is accused of kidnapping after surveillance footage from a Lee County hotel showed him carrying the girl.
