Shaniya Nicole Davis (5) R.I.P.

Shaniya Davis case update: Court dates, resolving confusion, remembering Shaniya.

* September 7th, 2010



Having trouble finding new Mario Andrette McNeill and Antoinette Nicole Davis updates and public information surrounding the case of murdered Shaniya Davis? There are various reasons as to why. The problem may track back to how one reads an inmate summary or submits a name entry.

Mario Andrette McNeill, otherwise noted as Mario McNeill, Mario Andrette McNeail, Mario Andrette McNeil, and Mario McNeil, according to the North Carolina Department of Corrections system, can be located by searching the name "Mario McNeill". Each name listed above will reflect on McNeill's inmate summary. Yet some viewing McNeill's summary question the contents.

One may find "Probation/Parole/Post Release Status" as listed on an inmate's summary. "Inactive" can be found on McNeill's DOC number 0788387. Meaning, Mario McNeill still remains "active" in Raleigh's Central Prison system.

As confirmed by Central Prison, Mario McNeill has not been moved to another facility nor will his most recent incarceration summary be applied unless it has been granted public access. Another surfacing question in recent months. Just when will that be? When the courts decide.

Visit Mario McNeill's past records as seen through NC DOC website.

The North Carolina Court System website offers upcoming court dates, and perhaps more confusion.

Mario McNeill's next court date is scheduled for Oct. 28, 2010 at the Cumberland County Courthouse in room 2B surrounding first-degree rape and murder charges. The Central Prison inmate will face his next court date for first-degree kidnapping on Nov. 4, 2010 at the Cumberland County Courthouse in, again, 2B.

Fayetteville, N.C. — A man charged with raping and killing a 5-year-old Fayetteville girl has requested his release while awaiting trial.

..."Release me. It's easiest," Mario Andrette McNeill said in a hand-written note from Central Prison in Raleigh, where he is being held for his own safety.

McNeill, 30, was arrested in November 2009 on charges he kidnapped, raped and murdered Shaniya Davis. Her body was found in a kudzu patch near the Lee-Harnett county line six days after she disappeared from her Fayetteville home.

An autopsy determined that Shaniya died of asphyxiation and that injuries she suffered were consistent with a sexual assault. A medical examiner noted in the autopsy that investigators believe the girl was used to pay off a drug debt.

Shaniya's mother, Antoinette Nicole Davis, 26, was charged with human trafficking, felony child abuse–prostitution, filing a false police report and obstructing a police investigation. Arrest warrants state that Davis "did knowingly provide Shaniya with the intent that she be held in sexual servitude" and "did permit an act of prostitution with Shaniya."

A grand jury hasn't yet indicted McNeill or Antoinette Davis in the case, and no trial dates can be set until then. The Cumberland County grand jury meets next on June 13.

McNeill addressed his request "To Whom This May Concern" and mailed it to the Cumberland County Clerk of Court.
