4-year-old daughter Stab to death by Her Mother

A mother has been charged to court for stabbing her 4-year-old daughter to death in west Harris County, Houston, Texas.

34 years old, Laquita Lewis, allegedly stabbed her little daughter, Fredricka Allen multiple times in the chest and left her to die in the bedroom.

Laquita was charged with murder after the girl was found fatally and severally stabbed late Sunday at Lewis’ apartment complex in Houston. It is yet to be known the major reason behind murdering her own daughter, but there were uncertain reports that she had an argument with Fredricka’s father, Fredricka before reportedly stabbing their daughter, a relative said. Lewis left the apartment after stabbing her own child, and got into a car accident. She was at a hospital when she texted her family to apologize for what had happened.

"She texted that the baby had gone to heaven, that she had killed the baby," Randy Sample, a relative of the deceased said. “It's insane, to take a 4-year-old’s life like that."

“It’s the worst news you’d want to hear about a family member -- especially someone of that age. It’s devastating," Sample added.

Neighbours were having a hard time dealing with the incidence and said it was really heartbreaking and not something to be expected from a mother. The deceased was described by neighbours who knew her as a happy child.

“Yeah, she was always happy. She would always tell me that my dog was cute and everything,” said Melody Medina.

According to the Harris County DA's office, Lewis was once charged in November for making a life threat to her 16 year old son with a knife during a Thanksgiving incident, while she was sentenced in February to 15 months of deferred adjudication in that case. She was still serving her past sentence when she killed her daughter.

The DA's office says that as part of her probation requirements, she was required to take a Texas Risk Assessment System evaluation, which ranked her with a score of zero (the lowest score) for her risk for recidivism.

CPS in Houston said they were also familiar with the family and issued the following statement:

"Child Protective Services is investigating this terrible tragedy and we grieve with their family for their loss. We are working with law enforcement to figure out what happened. CPS had previous involvement with this family, but we cannot discuss details because of confidentiality. It is important to learn everything we can about this tragedy and what may have led to it, so our Office of Child Safety will conduct an independent and comprehensive review of how CPS handled any prior allegations involving the Lewis family. Those reports take time, but it will be made available to the public."
