Background: The Mirage Apartments in Bossier City, La., where Sharonica Davis allegedly threw a 4-year-old out a window (Google Maps). Inset: Sharonica Davis (Caddo Parish Sheriff”s Office).
Sharonica Davis, 37, was already detained on different charges when authorities in Bossier City issued a new warrant against her. This warrant, detailed by the local NBC affiliate KTAL, links Davis to an appalling event involving her 4-year-old daughter. According to a Bossier City Police Department spokesperson, Davis is now charged with attempted second-degree murder, following a thorough investigation conducted by the department’s Juvenile Division.
The alarming case came to light on April 8 when the young girl was admitted to Ochsner Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana, with severe injuries — both her wrists and forearms were broken. Initially, reports suggested that the child had accidentally fallen from a window at their residence in the Mirage Apartments complex in Bossier City. However, further investigation by the police revealed that this was not a mere accident.
Police findings incriminate Davis as the one responsible for the tragic event, stating that she “pushed her [daughter], kicked her out of the window,” thus leading to the child’s critical injuries.
Police said Davis was the person responsible for the fall, saying Davis “pushed her [daughter], kicked her out of the window.”
Davis was booked into the Caddo Correctional Facility on the same day for separate charges related to the incident, police said. One of those charges was cruelty to a juvenile, KTAL reported. Detectives from the Bossier City Police Department questioned Davis while she was in custody. She is expected to be extradited to Bossier City at a later date.
KTAL reported that the girl was treated for her injuries and released from the hospital. She is now in the care of the Department of Children and Family Services.
Davis’ next court date was not available. Online records show that she remains in custody in Caddo Parish.
