A Dallas mother has been arrested and charged with capital murder after her 7 year old daughter died from stab wounds, according to an arrest affidavit.
The little girl, Madison, died on Thursday. Her mother, Troyshaye, 23, is also charged with aggravated assault in connection with the stabbing of a 16 year old boy who was at the home. The affidavit says an autopsy found Madison was stabbed more than 30 times.
According to the affidavit, Troyshaye’s mother told authorities she was taking a bath on Thursday when she heard screaming. Troyshaye’s brother told her that his teenage friend had been stabbed. The affidavit says the mother and brother tried to take the knife away, but Troyshaye got free and stabbed her daughter. Madison was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Troyshaye remains in the Dallas County Jail. A charge is an accusation, and the case has not been decided in court. Our thoughts are with Madison’s family and loved ones.
