DARRY'EL PARKER, 4, AND WITNESS MOM MURDERED

INNOCENT

AN INNOCENT four-year old has been found brutally murdered along with her mom who was supposed to testify in an upcoming trial, cops say.
Tiny Darry'el Amani Parker was found near her mother Alicia Lee Avery, who was pregnant with a second child in Baltimore's Welcome Inn motel, where the pair had been living as she awaited her time to give evidence.
Her sister Deniesha Avery called the death tragic and told WBAL TV that she last saw her sister Thursday and hinted that pressure may have been put on the 25-year-old to withdraw her evidence, as she received all sorts of calls from a man during
the visit.
She said:  "He just kept harassing her all night long, kept harassing her, harassing her."
She added: "It's just sad to see she's gone. Who could possibly do this to an innocent 25-year-old and a 4-year-old child, and then an unborn baby at that? That's just wrong."
It's thought young Darry'el was killed to prevent her from identifying her mother's attacker, although cops remained tight lipped about the case and refused to reveal which trial Avery was due to testify in.
The City State's Attorney's Office said: "For safety and investigative reasons, we do not discuss the identification of witnesses in any case."
Investigators found the bodies when they called on the pair as part of a routine check leading up to the trial.
Detective Cathy Batton of the Baltimore County Police Department said: "The victims had not been seen for several days, so officers came to check on them."
She added that the department's homicide unit is investigating.
So far Police have no suspects, so they're looking for any information that could help lead them to whoever is responsible.
Anyone who may have had recent contact with Avery or her daughter should contact the Baltimore County Police Department at 410-307-2020
