Daron Boswell-Johnson, 25, was charged Wednesday in the deaths of NeShante Davis, 26, a beloved primary school teacher, and their daughter, Chloe Davis-Green. Mother and daughter were shot outside their home in the state of Maryland, USA.

Boswell-Johnson, of Forestville, Maryland, was angry over $600 in monthly child support he had been ordered to pay, sources tell journalists. He was confirmed to be Chloe’s father in December through a DNA test conducted as part of a paternity suit, sources said. According to the preliminary investigation, Boswell-Johnson went to Davis’ and their daughter’s home early Tuesday to confront Davis about the child support, officials said Wednesday evening at a news conference.

He told police he drove to Davis’ home, parked down the street and waited for her to exit. Boswell-Johnson told police he then approached Davis at gunpoint and demanded she drop the petition he pay her $600 per month in child support. He then shot her and the toddler multiple times, he told police, court documents say.

Witness statements and surveillance video corroborate the confession, police said in court documents.

Davis’ body was found right away, next to her car, Prince George’s County police said. The injured toddler then was spotted through the tinted windows of her mother’s blue Chevrolet.

Chloe was rushed to a hospital, where she died.

“This is another tragic case of domestic violence,” Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Angela Alsobrooks said. “These are issues that have to be resolved in our families, in this community.”

Boswell-Johnson was arrested Tuesday in Montgomery County, Prince George’s County Interim Police Chief Hank Stawinski said.  Boswell-Johnson waived his Miranda rights and provided a statement to Prince George’s County police on Tuesday in which he confessed to the crime, according to court documents.
