(CHICAGO) The mother of a 13-year-old girl who is accused of stabbing to death a 15-year-old, has been ordered held without bond.
In court Wednesday the judge who denied bail called the death of DeKayla Dansberry “despicable” and noted that that 235 murders since the start of the year was “unprecedented insanity.”
Prosecutors says 35-year-old Tamika Gayden directed her 13-year-old daughter to get a switchblade knife from her purse. They say the daughter then went out and stabbed Dansberry. Both Gayden and her daughter are charged with first degree murder. Gayden is also charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Dansberry was stabbed once int he chest near 64th and South King Drive around 7:30 Saturday night.
