Kianna Aiesha Renee Davis, a 32-year-old teacher at a high school in Norcross, Georgia, was arrested on November 3, 2023. She is charged with the death of her two-year-old child, which occurred in 2020. The charges against her include malice murder, felony murder, cruelty to children, aggravated assault, and failure to provide medical care.
The tragic event unfolded between November 15 and 17, 2020, in Houston County, Georgia. Davis, along with co-accused Kiyon Devoy Benton, was indicted on October 17, 2023. The details surrounding the delay in Davis’s arrest are not clear at this time.
Court records indicate that Davis and Benton are accused of causing severe physical harm to Karter Ambrose, leading to critical injuries to his liver, pancreas, intestines, and kidney. The allegations include their neglect in seeking urgent medical care for the child, significantly contributing to his death.
A judge in Houston County set Davis’s bond at $15,000, with conditions including no contact with Benton and confinement to house arrest at her grandfather’s home. Benton, reportedly a friend of Davis but not the father of Karter, remains unarrested as reported by the District Attorney.
Davis, who worked at Seckinger High School in Gwinnett County, had been on leave for about two weeks before her arrest, as confirmed by the school’s principal.
