Shaniya Davis Autopsy Results In: Cause of Death Asphyxiation
A press conference was held today stating that the autopsy performed on Shaniya Davis has determined the cause of death to be asphyxiation. Results of her autopsy also confirm that the 5-year-old was raped as well. Cumberland County police have confirmed that 29-year-old Mario McNeil will now being charged with First Degree murder and rape of a child.
The emotions surrounding this case are high as the details surrounding the case have been revealed. There are so many unanswered questions of how could Shaniya’s own mother, Antoinette Davis, and Davis’ sister’s ex-boyfriend, Mario McNeil do something like this? No child should endure such pain.
As it stands, Antoinette Davis is accused with filing a false police report, child abuse, prostitution and human trafficking charges. It still unclear if she too will face murder charges.
November 10: Shaniya Davis was reported missing by her mother. Shortly afterwards, Antoinette Davis’ boyfriend was arrested in connection to Shaniya’s alleged kidnapping.
November 13:Mario McNeill was charged with 1st degree kidnapping once an employee from the Comfort Suites called police to tip them off on Shaniya, and the hotel surveillance video revealed Mario carrying Shaniya in the hotel’s elevator. Antoinette’s boyfriend was released.
November 14: Antoinette Davis was arrested and appeared emotionless before a judge.
November 16: Police received a tip and searched near a highway in Sanford, North Carolina and found the body of a little girl and later confirm it was Shaniya Davis.
November 19: The autopsy confirmed that Shaniya had been raped and her cause of death was asphyxiation.
No trackbacks yet.

Just for a moment I felt like justice is working for the people. Or shall I say Shaniya Davis. God do not like ugly. And that old saying those who live by the sword die by the sword is so true. I’ve watching the news just to see if Shaniya’s mother was going to be charged for her murder. And it looks like she is. And thats good for her. Now lets wait to see if she gets the death penalty. I really hope she does. Because jail is too good for her.

Dear Lisa, I think that in my mind that when police said that both the guy and the mom would be charged with murder to this sweet child. It would have been nice to see what proof did the police have to convict the man and the mom with murder. Personally,I think that a test to rule out if the mom has a mental disorder. The other thing is that the dad made a big mistake in handing his daughter to the mom. I also think that a second search should have been done to find this sweet child. There are allot of questions to be asked about this case.

I would like to say about this case that I think that there is more that needs to be done. One of those things is that can the reports from the autopsy and from the medical examiner that this is Shaniya Davis body. I also think that a second search should be done. Everyone is calming that this wonderful child is dead.I feel that this there is more to be done in this case. Personally, I think that the family shouldn’t give up hope.

This is such a sad case. I am sick over the elevator photo of this poor 5 year old and this bloody criminal carrying her up to the room as if its his bride. I just wished the hotel person had reacted faster as it may have saved this little girls life. may god punish the 2 evils.
