Slain Dallas girl, 7, stabbed over 30 times; mother arrested
A 7-year-old Dallas girl whose mother was recently arrested in her death was stabbed over 30 times, according to a court document.
Madison Petry died after being stabbed on Thursday. Troyshaye Mone Hall, 23, faces a capital murder charge in her daughter's slaying, as well as a charge of aggravated assault in the stabbing of a 16-year-old boy.
An arrest-warrant affidavit says that Hall's mother said she was taking a bath Thursday when she heard screaming. Hall’s brother then told her that Hall had stabbed his teenage friend, the affidavit said.
The affidavit said Hall's mother and brother tried to take the knife from her, but she got away from them and stabbed her daughter.
Madison was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The affidavit said that the initial autopsy found that the child had over 30 stab wounds.
Hall was being held Saturday in Dallas County Jail on $1.5 million. Court records did not list an attorney for her who could be reached for comment.
23 Shot Friday into Saturday Night in Mayor Lightfoot’s Chicago
Twenty-three people were shot, two of them fatally, Friday into Saturday night in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times reports one fatal attack occurred Friday night, leaving a 28-year-old woman dead and a man and a 15-year-old boy injured. The three were standing “in the 5400-block of South Bishop Street” when someone opened fire on them.
At 5:20 p.m. Friday a 31-year-old man was standing on the sidewalk near “64th Street and King Drive” when someone pulled up in a vehicle and opened fire. The 31-year-old was shot in the head and pronounced dead at a hospital.
The Chicago Tribune notes 294 people were killed in Chicago January 1, 2021, through June 12, 2021. That is 21 more deaths than were registered during the same time in 2020.
The Tribune points out a total of 1,587 people were been shot January 1, 2021, through June 14, 2021. That figure represents fatal and non-fatal shootings combined and means 195 more people were shot in 2021 than were shot during the same time-frame in 2020.
On June 16, 2021, Breitbart News reported Mayor Lightfoot is seeking federal gun control as a solution to Chicago’s gun violence.
Chicago, like all of Illinois, already has a 72-hour waiting period for gun purchases, a red flag law, and a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card requirement for would-be gun buyers. The process to acquire a FOID card includes a background check.
Moreover, Cook County, the county in which Chicago is located, has an “assault weapons” ban.
