Mother and Boyfriend Charged in Alleged Fatal Beating of 4-Year-Old

The child's body remains missing as police continue their search, following the mother's initial false report of a fatal car accident.

Mother Dominique Bailey and her boyfriend Kevin Spencer have been charged with the murder of 4-year-old Damari Carter, who was initially reported as missing and then falsely reported as having been fatally struck by a car.
Bailey and Spencer are accused of beating Damari to death in early December and disposing of his body in a trash can. The child's body has not yet been found.
Bailey initially told police that Damari had been fatally hit by a car. However, investigations revealed no evidence of a fatal car collision involving Damari.
Surveillance footage showed Spencer dragging a trash bag out of the house, reinforcing suspicions about Damari's death.
Damari's cousin, Aiyana Parrish, played a crucial role in bringing the case to light by contacting a local news outlet, initiating the investigation into Damari's disappearance and presumed death.
