According to a report by local station WRAL for Raleigh, Durham, and Fayetteville, NC, a family acquaintance has been charged with the death of Shaniya Davis, the 5-year-old used for prostitution and found dead on November 16 in Lee County, North Carolina.
Mario Andrette McNeil, 29, has been charged with first degree murder and first degree rape of a child. Previously, McNeil had been held for kidnapping charges after he surrendered to police on Friday, November 13.
Shaniya’s mother, Antoinette Davis, 25, was arrested on November 14, the following day, and charged with human trafficking, felony child abuse-prostitution, filing a false police report and obstructing a police investigation.
Apparently Davis provided her daughter for use in sexual servitude and according to WRAL’s report, she “did permit an act of prostitution with Shaniya.”
Of course, the world is begging to know why Davis would offer her daughter for sexual servitude. According to Theresa Chance, Fayetteville Police Department spokesperson, investigators are looking into the possibility of Davis using her daughter to pay off a drug debt.
Tom Bergamine, Police Chief, said that a preliminary autopsy report shows that Shaniya died via asphyxiation.
