WASHINGTON — The case against the man accused of killing a teacher and her two-year-old daughter in a dispute over child support is moving forward.
A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Wednesday morning, but the lawyer for 25-year-old Daron Boswell-Johnson waived the hearing, agreeing there was enough evidence for the case to proceed.
In charging documents, Prince George鈥檚 County Police said Boswell-Johnson confessed to shooting 26-year-old NeShante Davis and her 2-year-old daughter.
A police spokesperson later said Boswell-Johnson was the child鈥檚 father.
Police said that after the Feb. 2 killings, Boswell-Johnson admitted to driving to Davis鈥� home, waiting for her to come out, and confronting her about ongoing child support claims at gunpoint before shooting the two victims.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 still certainly the theory that we鈥檙e working under,鈥� says John Erzen, a spokesman with the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Within the next 30 days, prosecutors must finish their investigation and move forward with a possible grand jury indictment.
鈥淲hile in this case, we feel very strongly about the defendant鈥檚 involvement in this, we still need to do all of our due diligence,鈥� Erzen says.
In general, that includes items such as processing crime scene evidence and securing witness testimony, he said.
