According to reports,
“The father and aunt told the 911 dispatcher the defendant
told the father that their daughter was no longer alive and was in
heaven.
“She told him she stabbed her in the chest with a knife,” the prosecutor explained during the probable cause hearing.
Houston Police officers detained Laquita Lewis at the hospital, and the HCSO homicide investigators later took her into custody.
According to the District Attorney’s Office, just last
November, Lewis was arrested for threatening to kill her 16-year-old son
with a knife and she allegedly pulled a knife on him.
The single mother of four was sentenced to 15 months’
probation; and on a risk assessment test, she showed “zero” chance of
doing anything like that again.
Now, seven months later and investigators say the evaluation was clearly wrong.
The courts gave custody of Laquita’s three surviving
children to their father, her ex-husband Donnell
Lewis, following that
November incident.
