Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens issued the following statement.
Hinds County District Attorney Jody E. Owens, II, announces the conviction of LaTiffany Chambers of Capital Murder and felony child abuse. Following a jury trial in the Circuit Court of Hinds County, Chambers was convicted of Capital Murder in the death of her 17-year-old daughter, and two counts of felony child abuse for the abuse of her 14-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter.
On October 31, 2020, officers of the Jackson Police Department responded to a home on Lower Drive in Jackson in response to a report of an unresponsive person. Upon arrival, officers discovered 17-year-old, Lamonica Tucker, unresponsive with obvious signs of physical abuse. Tucker was transported to the hospital where she ultimately succumbed to her injuries. During the ensuing investigation, two other minor children in the household were examined and both children bore signs of prolonged physical abuse. As a result of the investigation, the children’s mother, LaTiffany Chambers, and step-father, Danny Dabbs were arrested and subsequently indicted for Capital murder in the death of Tucker, and feloniously abusing the other minor children, 14-year-old, D.C. and 12-year-old A.C.
“My office remains steadfast in making the prosecution of crimes of violence against children our highest priority,” DA Owens said following the verdict. “The road to healing for the surviving children is just beginning, and I ask for prayers for them and for all children who are the victims of abuse.”
Chambers was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for Capital Murder in her 17- year -old- daughter’s death; and 10 years for each count, consecutively of felony child abuse for the abuse of her 14- year- old- son and 12 -year- old- daughter.

a death sentence is in order
Jackson's mother of the year.
Where did the 2 other kids go?
Liberal/Bleeding heart: She should get probation and counseling. Her poor choices are due to the fact that she was obviously abused as a child, and that's not her fault.
Conservative: Dust off "old sparky."
Was this one of the ones with the pot of boiling water?
The prison will have running water and trash pickup.
This conviction is part of the Mayor’s plan to solve the water and trash issues.
DA Owens. The only DA we've had in a long time that takes violent crime seriously...
Thank you, DA Owens and Hinds County Jury.
"a death sentence is in order". Naw. Put her in solitary and give her her 1 hour of yard time at 0300 hrs. Never see the sun or hear birds chirping nor sounds of other humans.
What about the co-killer?
I asked about the fate of Danny Dabbs, the baby-daddy also indicted for murder in this situation.
Kingfish must not have liked that inquiry, as he shit-canned it.
Not a legitimate question?
