A Georgia high school teacher was arrested over the weekend in connection with the 2020 murder of a 2-year-old child.
An indictment states Kianna Davis, 32, is charged along with Kiyon Devoy Benton with malicious murder, felony murder, cruelty to a child in the first degree, aggravated assault, and several other charges, according to FOX 5.
The couple is accused of killing 2-year-old Karter Ambrose, who was beaten with a blunt object between November 15 and 17, 2020, the indictment alleged, adding that the child’s heart was sliced open.
Authorities said Davis was arrested by the Houston County District Attorney’s Office, the US Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force and the Warner Robins Police Department.
Davis’ LinkedIn says she is a teacher at Seckinger High School in Buford, Georgia.
In a letter sent to the family on Monday, Seckinger High School Principal Jimmy Fisher said it was launching an investigation into the situation, adding “We were informed that one of our teachers was arrested over the weekend,” according to 11 Alive.

“As is often the case in situations like this, news of this matter has spread among students and onto social media, and I think it’s important that you hear the facts from me first. Although this news may surprise you and raise questions, I want to reassure you that your students are in good hands. A substitute will continue to cover the teacher’s duties for the time being,” said Fisher. “As your principal, I am committed to the work we do to foster a safe and positive school environment and encourage our school community to come to me when you have concerns.”
A plea and bond hearing is set for Thursday.
