Mount Pleasant Police have arrested two concerning the death of a 23-month-old child. Jermaine Tyrelle Hooks and the child’s mother, Chelsea Lashaun Davis, both 25, have been arrested concerning the death of Davis’ daughter.

Back in July, the Mount Pleasant Police Department received information regarding the death of a 23-month-old child. They had transported the child to Children’s Medical Center, where she died due to her injuries.
After receiving the information and based on the child’s injuries, police investigated the death. The investigation ultimately led to probable cause for the arrest of Davis and Hooks. On October 12, 2023, a Titus County grand jury indicted Hooks for the Capital murder of a child under ten. Police issued a warrant for Davis for Interference with Public Duties.
